When I open a document, the list of styles in the document is longer than my arm! Dear Deborah I agree with your 6 points. However, may I suggest that all of them are more powerful if you compose your document in Outline View, not in print or page view?

Want to learn more about Styles? But what exactly is a style? A style is also what Word uses to identify different parts of your document. This is how you are able to see headings and subheadings on the Navigation Pane. It is also important in the creation of tables of contents. Using Styles to format your thesis ensures consistency. Should you change your mind about how you want the headings to look, all you have to do is modify the style and all the headings set to that style will change at once.
When formatting your thesis, all you have to do is create a style, and then apply it to any section. And, as mentioned above, if you want to change how a particular portion is formatted, you will only have to update the style, and everything set to that style will be modified at once. The Navigation Pane is a useful tool in Microsoft Word as it lets you move quickly to any section without scrolling up and down through the document.
Just click on a heading in the pane and you will jump to that section. Applying a style is a quick way to be able to see your headings on the Navigation Pane as opposed to manually ticking levels in the Paragraph menu for every heading and subheading.
Linking numbering or a multilevel list to a style allows you to generate and automatically update outline numbering.
