collected in a single article:

Microsoft Word MVP

Here's a good mvp article for a Microsoft MVP or aspiring one to

write. In
fact, I nominate Jezebel.

Users make a lot of mistakes in setting up styles. They use Normal

as a
variable base style; they fail to use Word's ready-made heading

styles;
they fail to incorporate their list numbering into styles, etc. Take

all
of these common errors and address the situation of the user who has

many
styles in place that are in these ways unsound. What is the most

efficient
way for the user to make his or her system of styles rational and

proper,
starting not from the artificial position of the user totally

innocent of
styles but from the user who has applied styles inconsistently and
incorrectly.
