Changing Style Formatting

You’ve now created a custom style. Suppose you wanted to bold it and forgot to? Simply select it, bold it and then:

• In Word 97 and 2000: Select the style AGAIN from the Style dropdown this time. You’ll be asked whether you want to Update the style to reflect recent changes -or- Reapply the formatting of the styles to the selection. You’ll choose to Update the style.

• In Word 2002/XP, you’ll use the Task Pane to hit the dropdown next to your style and choose Update to match selection.

• The manual method of changing a style is to hit Format Style, choose the style and then hit Modify. There are many settings that you can change within that dialog box.

• To update the Normal style, you MUST use the Style dialog box.
