A style is a set of formats that you can apply to characters, paragraphs, tables, and lists in your document.  It is a way of applying a group of formats in one simple action.  For instance, you could create a style to format a shaded paragraph in Times New Roman 10, Bold, with tab stops every 1.5 inches.  With one simple click, you can apply a custom style to the entire paragraph.

Word provides different style sets consisting of various formatting combinations that you can apply to your documents from the Quick Style Gallery.  With Word’s new Live Preview feature, you can point to a style in the gallery to view it.

To Apply a Quick Style
1.    Select the text to which you want to apply a style.
2.    Click the Home tab on the Ribbon.
3.    Move your mouse pointer over any of the styles in the Styles group on the Ribbon.
4.    To display an expanded Quick Styles Gallery, click the More button on the lower right corner of the Styles group.
5.    Click the style that you want to apply.
