Applying Styles in Microsoft Word

There are two ways to apply a style in Microsoft Word: using the Doc-To-Help ribbons or the Word Styles window.

  1. In the Word source document, select the text or place your cursor on it.
  2. Select the Doc-To-Help or Special Formatting ribbon.
  3. Click the appropriate button to apply Heading 1, 2, 3, 4, and Body Text styles, as well as bulleted and numbered lists.

Note The Special Formatting ribbon is only displayed in the D2H_SMAL.dotx, D2H_SMAL_A4.dotx, D2H_NORM.dotx, and D2H_NORM_A4.dotx templates. If you are using a different template, use the Bullet, Numbering, and Table buttons in Word's native ribbons.

Note D2HML styles (links, popups, conditional text, variables, etc.) are also applied with the Doc-To-Help ribbon. See About Doc-To-Help Markup Language.

  1. In the Word source document, select the text or place your cursor on it.
  2. Select the Home ribbon.
  3. At the bottom of the Styles group, click . The Styles window opens.
  4. Click the name of the style you wish to apply.
