Page Layout - No Spacing
I agree that those buttons don't exactly draw attention to themselves. I did
have the advantage of having been involved in discussions of a prototype of the Manage Styles dialog early in the development of Word 2007 (so I knew it existed), but my knowledge of where to find it and how to use it has come from these newsgroups. In earlier versions, there was an issue with table styles not retaining the defined fonts if the Normal font had been modified. That problem doesn't arise if you change the document defaults instead of the Normal style (I think I have that right; I don't use table styles, so I'm a little vague on this). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "JoAnn" wrote in message ... Thanks so much! I'm amazed that you ever found that Manage Styles button. The information from the Help section told me how to change the Normal style, but had no warning that that might cause other problems. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Use the dialog launcher at the bottom of the Styles group on the Home tab to open the Styles window (or pane). In the bottom left corner, the third button from the left says Manage Styles. This opens the Manage Styles dialog, one of whose tabs is Set Defaults. There you can choose your default font and paragraph formatting (for the given document or for all new documents). Although, as Pam said, Normal style by default will reflect the document defaults, changing the defaults doesn't cause problems in table styles as modifying Normal does. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "JoAnn" wrote in message ... Pam and Suzanne: I do not understand "document defaults." Where do I find the "Manage Styles" dialog box? Does what you are saying change the defaults on the new blank document that opens when you open Word? "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote: And, coming full circle, changing the style set changes the document default settings. If the normal style has not been modified to something different, its settings will be the same as document defaults. PamC Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: It is preferable, however, to change the document defaults rather than Normal style. Do this in the Manage Styles dialog. The settings for a new page are based on the Normal style. To change one or [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] spacing." I have to change the style everytime I start a new document. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ayout/200901/1 |
