\nTo make the Quick Style Gallery more useful in Word, I have a suggestion: purge the styles you don’t need, add the styles you need quickly.
\n
\nWord 2007’s Quick Style Gallery is the only remnant of the Styles drop-down list that existed in all previous versions of Word. It allows you to quickly choose a style, seeing that style in context in the document. That’s pretty cool, but it’s not really quick due to the bulk of styles available and limited space.<\/p>\n

To make the Quick Style Gallery more useful, I perform some minor trimming. Okay, well, major<\/em> trimming:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click the More button (lower right corner of the Quick Style Gallery) to expand the Quick Style Gallery to see all or at least a large square of the styles.<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on a style you don’t want in the Quick Style Gallery, such as Emphasis, which is merely italics, and italics is already a toolbar button.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose the command “Remove from Quick Style Gallery.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Keep removing the styles you don’t use or don’t really need. In my efforts, I removed just about every style. That’s because the Quick Style Gallery keeps its styles with regards to the Word Theme, which is something you cannot edit. So when I was done, I had only three styles left: Normal, Heading 1, and Heading 2.<\/p>\n

    The next step is to move your favorite styles, the ones you create, into the Quick Style Gallery. I’ll cover that step in the next post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Before moving on, do note that if you plan on making these changes permanement, you must make them to a document template. Otherwise you’ll have to trim the Quick Style Gallery for every new document you create. For specifics on document templates, refer to my book, Word 2007 For Dummies<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
