Order of styles in style pane
I have Vista and Office 2007. I use styles A LOT. The styles list does an odd
thing in which it is semi-alphabetical: most of the styles line up by letter/number, and are therefore easy to group into related groups, and find. This speeds my work because I use related styles in a given document. I give them similar names, and can move between them quickly. But some styles go completely out of alphabetical order, for no reason I can see. They are the same type of style, often based on other styles that they should be grouped close to. Is there anything I can do to make them all appear alphabetically? Thanks. ddc |

I'm a little vague on this because I don't have Word 2007 installed, but
there's a Manage Styles dialog in which you can set not only style visibility but also style priority. -- Suzanne S.

Some more details:
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S (or click the launcher button in the title bar of the Styles group) to open the Styles task pane. Click the Options link in the bottom right corner. The first dropdown controls which styles appear. If you want to use the "Recommended" setting, you can use the Manage Styles dialog (third button from the left at the bottom of the Styles task pane) to change which ones are recommended. The second dropdown controls the order in which they appear. You want to change this from "As Recommended" to "Alphabetical". Finally, change the option button at the bottom from "Only in this document" to "New documents based on this template", which saves the option in the Normal.dotm template (assuming that's the base template of the active document). If you use the Customize dialog to add the Style dropdown to the Quick Access Toolbar, the options also affect the dropdown. However, it seems they don't have any effect on the Quick Styles gallery's order. On Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:18:07 -0600, "Suzanne S.

Thanks for the follow-up (and the actual answer), Jay!

GREAT! That was the answer. I've been enduring this malady for months. When
something doesn't work in software, it gives you an underlying foreboding that something can go really wrong...so now I'll have one less thing to worry about.

Bless my soul. Using a wide-screen monitor I never saw the options link
until I dragged the pane upwards. Not a pain anymore! Gus Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S (or click the launcher button in the title bar of the Styles group) to open the Styles task pane.
