To use styles and themes effectively, you'll need to know how to apply , modify , and create a style ; use style sets ; apply a document theme ; and create a custom theme.
Optional: You can download this example for extra practice. You can also use styles to create a table of contents for your document. Style sets include a combination of title, heading, and paragraph styles.
Style sets allow you to format all of the elements of your document at once, rather than formatting your title and headings separately. A theme is a set of colors , fonts , and effects that determines the overall look of your document. Themes are a great way to change the tone of your entire document quickly and easily. All documents in Word use a theme. You've already been using a theme, even if you didn't know it: the default Office theme. Every theme, including the Office theme, has its own theme elements :.
If you're using theme elements, you'll probably find that your document looks pretty good and that all of the colors work well together, which means you don't have to spend as much time tweaking the document.
But there's another great reason to use theme elements: When you switch to a different theme, all of these elements will update to reflect the new theme. You can drastically change the look of the document in a few clicks, and it will usually still look good. Remember, the colors and fonts will only update if you're using theme fonts or theme colors. If you choose one of the standard colors or any of the fonts that are not theme fonts , your text will not change when you change the theme.
This can be useful if you're creating a logo or title that always needs to look the same. If you're using built-in styles , you may notice that the fonts for these styles change when you select a different theme. This is because all of the built-in styles are based on the theme fonts. A button also provides access to the Styles task pane discussed below. The selection of styles displayed in the dropdown will be controlled by the Options setting in the Styles task pane.
Figure 2. The Apply Styles toolbar. Note: The Styles task pane can be dragged anywhere on the screen using the Move handle that will display when you mouse over the top left corner. When it is not docked, it can be resized. Double-clicking on the title bar will maximize it and dock it on one side of the screen or the other. If you find that it insists on being on the left when you want it on the right or vice versa , drag it past the edge of the screen until it snaps into place.
The advantage of the Styles task pane over the Apply Styles toolbar in applying styles is that a full list of styles is displayed at all times. If you can see the style you want in the task pane, then you can click on it without having to first click to drop down a list. The disadvantage of the Styles task pane in seeing what style is currently applied is that, when the list is longer than the task pane, it may be necessary to scroll the list to see what style is selected.
The number and order of styles displayed in the task pane can be completely customized using the Manage Styles dialog click the button in the lower left corner of the task pane to open this dialog. There you can set the priority order of styles, which ones are displayed or hidden or hidden until first use , and other settings.
