Adding Individual Styles to the Template

Templates are used in Word to define how you want your menus, toolbar, glossary, and default styles to appear. When you are either adding new styles or changing existing styles, Word allows you to update the template to reflect those style changes. To do this, follow these steps:

Make sure the Home tab of the ribbon is displayed.

Click the small arrow at the bottom-right corner of the Styles group. The Styles pane appears at the right of the program window.

In the Styles pane, scroll through the list of styles until you see the style you want to change.

Move the mouse pointer over the style name and then click on the down-arrow at the right side of the style name.

Click on Modify. The Modify Style dialog box appears. (See Figure 1.)
