Nerdy Books newsletter, Vol. Although you can create a style in a number of ways, I won't waste your time going through the long way of doing it.
Word makes it unbelievably easy to create or edit an existing style.
After this tip, you'll wish you'd known about styles sooner. Format a paragraph or piece of text the way you want it, then select it. Type a unique name for the style, then press Enter . Since Word shows the style's color, typeface, justification, etc. in the Style list, I name my styles the first few words of the first paragraph to which I applied the style. Now that you've created it, you can apply your new style just as easily.
