Default applying styles in 2002

I have read ShaunaKelly's webpage about styles and how to apply them, but
for some reason I am having trouble.

I am using XP2002 and on the "styles and formatting" pane, Normal is set to
"Courier New 11 pt."

However, when I apply this style, it doesn't work.

Hi yepp

Maybe your paragraph has direct formatting attached to it. Select the
problem paragraph and do ctrl-q, ctrl-spacebar. That will remove all direct
formatting.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Curious, I have been trying Ctrl+N to apply
"Normal" style. What does Ctrl+Q do and what is direct formatting?

correction: I am using "Ctrl+Shift+N" to apply normal style.

Ctrl-q and ctrl-spacebar remove direct formatting from the selected text.
Direct formatting means any formatting that does not come from a style. All
text in Word is controlled by a style, whether you chose it explicitly or
not. When you apply additional formatting (eg bold, a font colour, a font
size, space before a paragraph etc), then that is direct formatting. In Word
2002 and 2003 you can see the distinction. To do that, click in a paragraph,
do Shift-F1, and at the bottom of the task pane, click "Distinguish style
source". You can now see where your formatting derived from.

Hope this helps.
