Microsoft Word contains many useful default styles, such as "Heading 1" through "Heading 9", "Normal", "List" through "List 5", or "Caption". Make your work easy by using these styles whenever possible.
However, when working with axesWord, it is sometimes helpful or even necessary to create new user-defined styles; for example, for the header cells in tables.
To create a new style
- In the Styles dialog, select the New Style button.
-
The Create New Style from Formatting dialog opens, providing a wide range of settings to design a new style according to your requirements.
-
Select the Format button to display more setting options.
The Paragraph menu option is particularly noteworthy - It allows you to define line spacing, right or left indentations, and spacing before or after a paragraph.
Important
Give the new style a name that indicates when it should be used.
