One
Modify For All
Do you use MS Word Styles?
Ever get frustrated
when you change a single paragraph with a specific style, forcing you
to go and change the rest?
Or, maybe you go through
and highlight them all with the Ctrl key and then make the change.
Either way, it takes
too much time.
How about a method for making
a change for one paragraph automatically appear in all paragraphs with
the same style?
Yeah, sounded like
a good idea to me too, so let's take a look.
Obviously, you've
got a document with styles applied opened. Now, highlight a paragraph
with a style that needs to be changed.
Go to the Format
menu, Styles and Formatting choice.
When the Styles and
Formatting task pane opens, right click on the style name.
Choose Modify
from the menu.
In the Modify Style
window, check the Automatically Update choice.
Click OK.
Now, back in the document,
if you make a change that affects an entire paragraph with that style,
every paragraph in the document will be changed too.
Here's a true case
where one modification can equal many changes!
