I use Word 2002 at work and Word 2007 at home. Word 2007 runs in Compatibility Mode.

In Word 2002 I have a customized set of styles that I use most of the time. To transfer these to Word 2007, I created a sample document in Word 2002 that included all my styles and then opened this document in Word 2007. I selected Change Styles Style Set Save as Quick Style Set and gave my Style Set a name. Now my style set appears in the listing of style sets. So far, so good.

The problem is: When I select my style from the Style Set list, I can't get the styles to appear in the Style Gallery on the ribbon. How do I do that?

Display the Styles pane (press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, or click the tiny button in the
title bar of the Styles group on the ribbon). Right-click each of your styles in
the list and choose "Add to Quick Style Gallery".

Aha...so I have to add each style individually? I was hoping that all styles in a style set would automatically appear in the Gallery (replacing whatever is currently in the Gallery) when a particular style set is chosen. That would seem logical, no?

Note that many styles won't display until they have been used in the
document (see the status at the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog
box). This also applies to quick styles.

But to clarify: yes, making an individual style a quick style is a manual
task.

Alright then. Looks like I still have much to learn about styles, style sets and style galleries. Don't even ask me about Themes... ;-)

You can also set their priority, which will influence how far up in the
gallery they are displayed.

[Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com]

A style set is what shows up in the quick style gallery, and you must add
styles to the gallery one style at a time. If you are trying to provide
users with a view of the only styles you want them to use, you must first
empty the current gallery then add the ones your users will need --in some
convenient order-- then save the result as a new style set.

This is somewhat like creating a styles toolbar in previous versions of Word,
except that the toolbar is probably empty before you add the styles to it.
