The Style section is used to quickly format an entire document. A
style is a set of formatting characteristics such as font size, color,
paragraph alignment, spacing, and shading.
Open one of your existing letters or document and press ctrl key and
A. This will select the entire document. Or if you are just beginning a
document you can make these selections before you start typing.
Scroll through the default styles with the up and down arrows to the
right. Click on one of the default styles and it will change your
documents if you already have one typed or start typing and see how Word
2010 is automatically making the changes to the style. If you don't
like the looks of it simply make sure the entire document is highlighted
and click another style.
The next button is Change Styles. This button gives you the
opportunity to customize the style you choose. Click the down arrow to
see the options. The first selection is Style Set. A style set is the
combination of formatting changes you make to a document. Place your
mouse over Style Set to see a list of options. These options will
change the style selections you can choose from. If you have made style
changes to your document you can click the selections at the bottom of
the list to Reset changes made to a template, reset the document to
quick styles, or save your customized style as a Quick Style set.
The next selection in the Change Styles button is Colors. Place your
mouse over Colors. You will see a list of preselected color
combinations. These color combinations are for different text colors
throughout your document. If you select the Create New Theme Color at
the bottom of the menu you will see a list of the different types of
text you can change the colors.
Next is the Fonts selection in the Change Styles button. Click on
the Fonts selection and see a list of default combination of Fonts. The
top is the Heading font and the bottom is the text for the body of the
document. Use the arrow slide bar on the right hand side to scroll
through the selections. At the bottom of the Fonts menu you will see
Create New Theme Fonts. Click on this option. The Create new Theme
Fonts window will open.
In the Create new Theme Fonts window you can customize a font theme.
Simply use the down arrows to select a font for the Heading and or the
Body. Name your font theme and click Save.
The last option in the Change Styles button is the set as default
selection. This will take the current theme of your document and set it
to default so every time you start a new document the theme you have
created will be used.
New to Word 2010 is the Paragraph Spacing option in the Change Styles
button. The built-in options show different spacing choices to apply
throughout the document. You are also able to customize your paragraph
spacing. Click on the Custom Paragraph Spacing option at the bottom of
the built-in list.
This will open the Manage Styles window to the set Defaults tab.
In this tab you can set default font styles and font size. You can set
tabs for paragraph indents by typing a number or using the up and down
arrows in the Paragraph position section.
When you are finished making
your selections click the radio button to apply it to the working
document only or all new documents based on the template you just set.
Then click OK to return to your document and apply the changes you just
made.
