00:00:12.370 --> 00:00:17.360
Different fonts, colors, and formatting give
each of your documents their own style.

00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:21.950
Word has a great feature called Styles, in
fact, that can help you achieve a more professional

00:00:21.950 --> 00:00:25.450
look, and try on different looks at the click
of a button.

00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:27.060
How does it work?

00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:31.800
Start by selecting or just placing your cursor
next to a line of text.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.470
Then go to the Styles group.

00:00:33.470 --> 00:00:38.870
Right now, I'm using Normal, but I can hover
over some of the other styles to see a preview

00:00:38.870 --> 00:00:40.920
of what they look like.

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.760
For the full list, click the arrow here.

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:47.129
And, this being the title of my document…

00:00:47.129 --> 00:00:50.940
I really think Title looks the best.

00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:55.929
For the next line of text, I'm going to use
Subtitle.

00:00:55.929 --> 00:01:02.430
And last, I'd like to choose a heading.

00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:05.409
Let's go with Heading 1.

00:01:05.409 --> 00:01:10.030
I think this looks great, but, believe it
or not, there's more than one Style Set to

00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:12.909
choose from - this is just the default.

00:01:12.909 --> 00:01:17.720
Each Style Set contains a unique combination
of titles, headings, and text that you can

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:20.640
change to and from instantly.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.550
Just go to Change Styles, Style Set, and mouse
over each one to see what they look like.

00:01:28.550 --> 00:01:31.320
How about Elegant?

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:35.770
I really do like this, but I think the title's
a little too big - it's getting covered up

00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:38.080
by the picture on the right.

00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:44.630
To modify a style, all you have to do is find
it in the Styles group, right-click, then

00:01:44.630 --> 00:01:46.620
Modify.

00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:50.770
You can give it a new title if you want, but
I'm just going to change the font size from

00:01:50.770 --> 00:01:54.810
36 to...

00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:56.830
32.

00:01:56.830 --> 00:01:58.860
Perfect!

00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:01.650
You can also create a new Style from scratch.

00:02:01.650 --> 00:02:03.980
How about a new heading?

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.410
Just click the tiny arrow here,

00:02:06.410 --> 00:02:10.350
the New Style button at the bottom,

00:02:10.350 --> 00:02:14.599
then enter a name for your style.

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.670
You can choose any formatting you like.

00:02:16.670 --> 00:02:20.190
I'm going to go with a new font,

00:02:20.190 --> 00:02:22.590
size,

00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:25.000
bold,

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.780
and this light brown.

00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:36.349
Click OK, close this, and not only is it applied
to your document - it's in the list of Styles

00:02:36.349 --> 00:02:38.379
too.

00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:42.600
It's amazing how easy it is to change the
entire look and feel of your document, just

00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:44.439
by using Styles.

00:02:44.439 --> 00:03:12.610
Try experimenting, find something you like,
or create your own!
