What's the difference between "Available Style" and "AvailableFormatting"
When using the Styles and Formatting function in Word, what is the
difference between showing the "Available Styles" and showing the "Available Formatting"? And what determines if a style is saved under the Available Styles view or Available Formatting view? Is it better to always use one view or the other? |

What's the difference between "Available Style" and "Available Formatting"
"Formatting" is just that. If you don't have "Keep track of formatting"
enabled on the Edit tab of Tools | Options, you won't even see the pseudo-styles such as Normal + Bold, Heading 1 + 14 point, etc. This was a dubious innovation in Word 2002 to allow users to apply consistent formatting to paragraphs without having to apply or define a style. Using a style is preferable, however. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "word editor" wrote in message ...
