Microsoft Office Interview Question:

What are styles? How do I use them?

Submitted by: Administrator

A style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text in your document quickly. The Style list is that pulldown list on the Formatting toolbar, where it usually says Normal in a white box. You apply styles by selecting text, then choosing a style from the list. There will be a few there by default. You can create your own styles:

1. Select the text that contains the formatting you want to use for your style.
2. On the Formatting toolbar, click inside the Style box.
3. Type over the existing style name to create the name for the new style, then press Enter.

You can set additional formatting characteristics for paragraph styles, such as the style for the next paragraph:

1. On the Format menu, click Style.
2. Click the style that has the settings you want to change.
3. Click Modify, and then select the options you want.
