Reviewing Word Styles
- Jenny Seifert (Unlicensed)
It is often useful, especially after using the eXtyles Paragraph Styling palette, to review the styles you have applied to the content of a document. Opening the Word style width area window on the left side of your document is the easiest way to review the styles you have applied. The Word style width area will be displayed in Word’s Draft viewing mode (on your screen only, not in the printed document) to the left of your screen.
To enable this feature in Word:
1. From the Word View tab, select Draft.
2. Select the Word File tab.
3. Navigate to Options > Advanced > Display > Style area pane width in Draft and Outline views. Set the Style Area Width setting to your preferred width (1 inch is a good starting value).
Once this window is open, the style name of each paragraph is displayed to the left of your screen. You can page or scroll through your document to review the styles you have applied to each paragraph. You can close the style area pane by dragging on the vertical line all the way to the left edge of your Word window, or by resetting the value as described in this section to 0.
