Format a Document with Styles

Type the following text into a new 2010 Word document using Arial size 9.5 . Save the document with the name 20 Tips on How to Survive and Keep Your Job.

The document has content but little formatting. Look at the Styles group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Because all the text at the moment has just the Normal style, this style is highlighted in the Quick Styles gallery.

To view additional styles, open the expanded gallery by clicking the down button next to the Quick Styles thumbnails.

Note     You will notice two buttons. The first is a scrolling button that allows you to view rows of styles within the Quick Styles gallery. The second button is a More button that opens the expanded gallery, where you can view all styles at once.

To explore Quick Styles in more detail, open the Styles task pane by clicking the Styles Dialog Box Launcher (tiny button with a diagonal arrow) in the bottom right corner of the Styles group.
