14 Word – Lesson 4 Pasewark & PasewarkMicrosoft Office 2007: Introductory 14 Redefining an Existing Quick Style If none of the Quick Styles formats the text the way you want, create your own style.

Once you make your changes, the selected text doesn’t change, but the Quick Style is redefined to match it. The redefined Quick Style is available only in the current document.

Or, you can open the Quick Styles gallery, and then click Clear Formatting on the menu at the bottom of the gallery. When you remove a style, the Normal Quick Style is automatically applied.

17 Word – Lesson 4 Pasewark & PasewarkMicrosoft Office 2007: Introductory 17 Summary Fonts are designs of type that can be used to change the appearance of a document. Font size is measured in points. The higher the point size, the larger the characters. Common font styles are bold, italic, and underline. These styles can be applied to any font. You can change the color and style of underlines. The look of text can be changed by changing its color and adding font effects.

18 Word – Lesson 4 Pasewark & PasewarkMicrosoft Office 2007: Introductory 18 Summary (continued) Highlighting can be used to emphasize important text.

A theme is a coordinated set of fonts, styles, and colors. When you change the theme, all text that has a Quick Style applied to it, including the Normal Quick Style, changes to the fonts, colors, and styles in the new theme.
