00:00:11.330 --> 00:00:16.860
Word has a great feature called Styles that
you can use to control the fonts, colors,

00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:19.340
and formatting of your document.

00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:24.000
You can use this feature to get a more professional
look, and try on different looks at the click

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.270
of a button.

00:00:25.270 --> 00:00:26.470
How does it work?

00:00:26.470 --> 00:00:33.210
Start by selecting or just placing your cursor
next to a line of text, then go to the Styles

00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:34.210
group.

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:39.610
Right now, I'm using Normal, but I can hover
over some of the other styles to see a preview

00:00:39.610 --> 00:00:42.100
of what they look like.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.049
For the full list, click the arrow here.

00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:51.940
And since this is the title of my document,
I really think Title looks the best.

00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:56.360
I'm just going to move to the next line of
text by pressing the down arrow on my keyboard...

00:00:56.360 --> 00:01:01.290
and for this line I'm going to use Subtitle.

00:01:01.290 --> 00:01:02.640
And last, I'd like to choose a heading.

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.110
Let's go with Heading 1.

00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:07.600
I think this looks great!

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:11.460
But, believe it or not, there's more than
one Style Set to choose from - this one is

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:13.030
just the default.

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:17.850
Each Style Set contains a unique combination
of titles, headings, and text that you can

00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:18.850
change instantly.

00:01:18.850 --> 00:01:25.220
Just go to the Design Tab and click the More
drop down arrow in the Document Formatting

00:01:25.220 --> 00:01:26.220
group.

00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:29.410
There's a variety of formats to choose from
here...

00:01:29.410 --> 00:01:35.811
Some are more formal...but each one has a
different look and feel, so try a few and

00:01:35.811 --> 00:01:38.950
see which one works best for your document.

00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.680
How about this one?

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.160
I really do like this.

00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:49.840
But I think the title's a little too big - it's
getting covered up by the picture on the right.

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:57.450
To modify a style, all you have to do is find
it in the Styles group, right-click, and then

00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:00.280
select Modify.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:09.759
You can give it a new title if you want, but
I'm just going to change the font size.

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.430
You can also create a new Style from scratch.

00:02:13.430 --> 00:02:15.640
How about a new heading?

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:26.090
Just click the tiny arrow here...and then
New Style button at the bottom, and now you

00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:28.200
can enter a name for your style.

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.920
You can choose any formatting you like.

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:41.870
I'm going to go with a new font... size...
bold... and this blue color...

00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:51.120
Click OK, close this, and not only is it applied
to your document - it's in the list of Styles

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.120
too.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.621
It's amazing how easy it is to change the
entire look and feel of your document, just

00:02:57.621 --> 00:02:59.459
by using Styles.

00:02:59.459 --> 00:03:03.080
Try experimenting, find something you like,
or create your own!
