What does linked style and priority number mean?
For example, in the Normal template, Heading 1 has a part of its definition: Style: Linked, Quick Style, Priority: 10 |

A linked style is a hybrid of a paragraph style and a character style. When
you select part of the text in a paragraph and apply a linked style, generally only the font formatting from the linked style is applied. This is particularly useful for applying heading styles to the beginning text in a paragraph; not only the formatting settings from the heading style are applied to the selected text but also the outline level paragraph formatting setting. The text formatted in this way may then be included in a table of contents, etc. The priority value determines where a style included in the Quick Style list (part of the definition of a style) is displayed in the Quick Style gallery on the Home tab, in the Styles group (see the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box -- Home tab, Styles group, Styles Dialog Box Launcher (arrow), Manage Styles button for settings). Quick Styles with the priority value 1 are displayed before those with priority value 2, etc. Those with the same priority value are displayed in alphabetical order.

Thank you for your reply.
Linked €“ dont really understand this. You say with a linked style, generally only the font formatting is applied. But Heading 1, 2, 3 etc and Title, for example, are listed as linked styles and they apply both paragraph and font formatting as I understand things ?? Priority €“ this seems more straightforward. Is it possible to change the style priority €“ and to set a priority when a new style is created? "Aeneas" wrote: A linked style is a hybrid of a paragraph style and a character style.

... Thank you for your reply. Linked - don't really understand this. You say with a linked style, generally only the font formatting is applied. But Heading 1, 2, 3 etc and Title, for example, are listed as linked styles and they apply both paragraph and font formatting as I understand things ?? The difference is that linked styles *can* be applied to part of a paragraph (which means that only the font formatting is applied), which "true" paragraph styles can not. The latter type is always applied to a whole paragraph, even if the current selection includes only part of the paragraph. Note that the Styles pane in Word 2007 (press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display it) has an option to "Disable linked styles" which prevents linked styles from being applied to part of a paragraph. Linked styles were introduced in Word 2002 to allow users to create tables of contents that included parts of paragraphs (without adding TC fields to the document). In Word 2007 you can insert a style separator to get this functionality without using linked styles (add the style separator command to the QAT, via Office button | Word Options, Customize). Priority - this seems more straightforward. Is it possible to change the style priority - and to set a priority when a new style is created? Yes, you can use the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box to set style priority. To display the dialog box, click the Manage Styles button on the Styles pane. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Aeneas" wrote: A linked style is a hybrid of a paragraph style and a character style.
