Changing Styles

Posted on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014

Once you have defined a style in Word, you can change it at any time. To do this, follow these steps if you are using Word 2002 or Word 2003:

  1. Choose Styles and Formatting from the Format menu. Word displays the Styles and Formatting pane.
  2. In the Pick Formatting to Apply List, locate the style you want to change and simply point to it. (Don’t click on it.) Word displays a down-arrow at the right side of the style name.
  3. Click on the down-arrow. Word displays a drop-down menu.
  4. Click on Modify. Word displays the Modify Style dialog box.

  1. Change the attributes of the style, as desired. You may need to use the Format button to make your changes.
  2. When completed, click on OK.
  3. To change other styles, repeat steps 2 through 6.
  4. When you are done changing styles, close the Styles and Formatting pane.

Remember, you can modify styles to the look and feel of your choosing, as long as you maintain a logical heading structure in your document.
