Styles Gallery

Quick reference

• 00:04 Hello, in this lesson I'd like to introduce you to styles.
• 00:09 Now, others and exercise file was some text already typed in.
• 00:12 You're welcome to use at or just go ahead and open up a link one and
• 00:16 use your own document.
• 00:18 I'm going to go ahead and
• 00:19 put my insertion point on the script that says, Title of Report.
• 00:23 Because wherever your insertion point is is where the style will be applied.
• 00:27 I'm on my home ribbon right up here.
• 00:28 And on the right hand side is a group that's called Styles.
• 00:32 And right above that is what we call a gallery.
• 00:35 When you hit the drop down arrow, there is a gallery,
• 00:38 an art gallery of all the styles.
• 00:40 What you have to do is float your mouse around to the different styles and
• 00:44 you can see the Title of Report where I had clicked before I started this.
• 00:47 Watch it change.
• 00:49 I'm not clicking any of these, I'm just floating my mouse on them.
• 00:53 And then basically, you can decide which one you like and which one you wanna use.
• 00:56 Now there's one here that says, Intense Quote.
• 00:59 And I can tell in the background it did change it.
• 01:02 So if I go to this one, let's see, Intense Reference, but this one, Intense Quote,
• 01:08 puts lines above and below it and colors the font blue and italicized.
• 01:14 Now it doesn't matter to me that the name of it is intense quote.
• 01:17 I don't care if I'm gonna use it for a quote or not.
• 01:19 I like the style of it, I'm gonna select that particular one.
• 01:22 So, I'll go ahead and just click it, it applies it, and there you go.
• 01:27 Now I still have the ability to format this,
• 01:30 I think the font size is a little small if it's gonna be the title of report.
• 01:34 So I'm gonna select all the text in that line and I'm gonna come up here and hit my
• 01:39 A up arrow a few times until I decide I like the size of the font, which is
• 01:44 why I prefer this A up and A down instead of guessing which size I might like.
• 01:48 I can actually view which size I like with the font large and font smaller buttons.
• 01:54 Okay, let's go ahead and go to Topic #1 right over here.
• 01:57 So I'm gonna go put my insertion point on top of one, go back to my gallery, and
• 02:02 I decide I like this one.
• 02:03 The heading four because it's blue and it's italicized.
• 02:07 And I select it and I can click off of it.
• 02:09 Now notice when I flip my mouse over the top of it,
• 02:12 a little arrow shows up on the right hand side.
• 02:14 Now this happens with headings in this style.
• 02:16 You can actually collapse what is under that heading.
• 02:19 Now, you're going to see everything vanish on my screen as soon as I select that
• 02:23 arrow because everything under it belongs to that heading, okay.
• 02:27 It's just a nice way to collapse your heading so
• 02:29 you can actually work with just your headings, all right.
• 02:32 Now I'm gonna click on top of two.
• 02:34 Go right up here.
• 02:36 I've got my heading 1,2,3,4.
• 02:37 I'm gonna use heading 2 this time.
• 02:39 Looks a lot different.
• 02:40 Shows up with an arrow off to the left.
• 02:42 I can collapse that one and everything underneath vanishes.
• 02:45 But the top of 1 was fine.
• 02:47 Okay, now I can collapse this one as well.
• 02:49 So that's how you can collapse your headings.
• 02:51 You can, it's just easier to format, all right.
• 02:54 So, I'm gonna ahead and go here.
• 02:57 Subtopic and we'll do heading three on this one.
• 02:59 So, I've got quite a nice variety of styles going on here, but
• 03:04 the font styles, the fonts are a little different.
• 03:07 As I click, that one says Arial.
• 03:09 This one says Calibri Light.
• 03:11 This bottom one says Arial.
• 03:14 I want them all to be Calibri.
• 03:16 So I'm gonna click and drag all of these, oops went a little too far.
• 03:21 And I'm going to force them to be Calibri.
• 03:23 Now they went blank because I've confused the computer.
• 03:26 Some are Arial, some are Calibri.
• 03:28 It doesn't know what I want, so it went blank.
• 03:30 So I'm just gonna force it and say, I want Calibri.
• 03:33 I'm gonna select them all.
• 03:34 Now Calibri is applied but notice the font size is confused cuz
• 03:39 there's different sizes and that's okay, I'm just gonna leave that alone.
• 03:42 All right, one more thing I'm gonna show you, when you use styles which of
• 03:46 course make sure you use headings, if you click on the view ribbon right up here,
• 03:49 there's a button here that called navigation pane.
• 03:52 I would highly recommend you turn that on because the navigation pane allows you to
• 03:56 click around your document on any area you want.
• 04:01 And I love the navigation pane for that reason.
• 04:03 Generally, when I working on a document, I always have my navigation pane on because
• 04:07 I've always got headings from the style gallery located on the home ribbon.
• 04:13 I hope you use those.
• 04:14 They're kinda fun.
• 04:15 All right, thank you.
