In this step-by-step tutorial video, learn how and why to use Styles in Microsoft Word. With Styles, you can easily format and change the format of a document, take advantage of themes, quickly insert a table of contents, and effortlessly navigate throughout your document.

The other thing I think is really important about using headings is if you create a PDF from your word file, it will create a hyperlinked table of contents AND you can have it auto-bookmark the PDF using the headings (even multiple heading levels). When creating large complicated documents (i.e. in a business environment) it can be VERY helpful to have a hyperlinked and bookmarked PDF.

I've been using Microsoft Word since it was created. I have to say that every place I work, no one knows Word as well as I do. Back in the day, I used to call up Microsoft and ask to speak with someone with regard to quirks or processes that weren't working right. This is back in the day when people ACTUALLY answered the phone - LOL! My favorite is Excel though...I could do spreadsheets all day long. I'm learning Power BI, which seems to be Pivot Tables on steroids. I really like your videos - very informative!

great vid! finally i know what styles are for. i'm wondering if you'd consider making a video on just understanding the basic ethos of ms word. i primarily work with text editors and jumping into word, i mean yeah, i can make a document but everything seems to fight me - everything seems way more cumbersome than i feel it needs to be to just start typing and i feel like i'm doing something wrong or not understanding a key part of how i'm supposed to use word. i mean is it primarily for formatting or what? is it not to be used to just GENERATE writing like for a manuscript or novel or short story or something? any kind of vid to help me understand this would be awesome. thanks!

Hi Kevin thanks for this tip. I have been using Microsoft Office for the past 27 years and despite this there is alway something new to learn - and I love your tuts for this! They are clear and straight to the point. However lately I have been having a huge problem with the size and colour of the fonts on the tabs sections of word and so when normally once something would take me 5 minutes to do it now takes me around 15 minutes! - I am finding them really tiny and extremely light in shade and so I have to constantly peer closer to find the function I need to click on in order to get the job done. I cannot find a single tutorial on Google that provides instructions on how to this. - would you know of a way I could fix this?

Hi Kevin, Here's an idea for a future video for a more advanced audience of graphic designers on Macs who occasionally find themselves needing to create a Word template for a client - what are some advanced features that are different in Word for Mac as compared to Windows? For instance, I've been hunting around for a way to reorder my the styles in my document and I am coming across plenty of resources to answer this question - for Windows. I can't find anything for Mac and have concluded that this is a feature that's just not available for Mac - but it's bugging me that I can't even find a resource to confirm this is true for sure.

You can use it even if you have a document already created. Just use the styles in your document. If you use the built in "Heading 1" style, i'd suggest not baseing it on "normal."
