Defining styles

In addition to the built-in styles, you can create your own - either

from scratch or by modifying an existing one. Styles are saved

with the file, so each Word file can have different style settings.

1. Tap the Style gallery button on the Toolbar or select the

command from the Paragraph menu and select New to

create your own style, or select Modify to change the

currently selected style in the list.

2. Press the Format button, then modify text and paragraph

options as you wish.

If you are creating a new style, you can then name and assign an

outline level and shortcut key.Your new style will now appear in

the list of paragraph styles for the current file.

To delete a style you have created; tap the Style gallery button

on the Toolbar or select the command from the Paragraph

menu, select the style name from the list, and press Delete.

• You cannot delete or rename Word’s built-in styles, but you

can modify their settings for the current file. The built-in

styles in other files will not be affected.

Document outlines

You can view an outline of a document, with one line for each

paragraph style which has an “outline level”. The standard

Heading styles use a sequence of different outline levels: Heading

1 is the highest with outline level 1, Heading 2 has outline level 2

and so on.

You can choose which paragraph styles you want to display in the

outline, making it easier for you to see the structure of the

document and move between different sections.

Select Outline on the View menu to see the document

structure in outline. You can then:

• expand the outline to include other styles with a lower

outline level. Highlight a particular line and tap again or

press the right arrow to expand the level. Tap Open all to

show all of the outline levels. Styles which have an outline

level of zero are not shown.

• close the outline to show only the higher outline levels.

Highlight a line and tap again or press the left arrow to close

one level. Tap Close all to only show the highest outline

level.

• tap Done or press Esc to return to the document.

You can change the outline level for any style so that you can

display a document structure including your own headings or

other styles. See ‘Using styles’ earlier for more about creating

styles.
