Word Reveal and Adjust Text Formatting

The Styles and Formatting task pane can provide you with formatting information about your document.

To access this task pane go to the top toolbar select Format menu,

Select Styles and Formatting.

When Available formatting is selected in the Show box in this task pane, you can see the formatting used in your document, including styles youʹve created and default heading styles.

You can also show all styles in the task pane, or define a custom view. To make adjustments to the formatting in your Word document:

On the Format menu, click Reveal Formatting.

Select the text whose formatting you want to review.

The formatting information will appear in the Reveal Formatting task pane.

Now, you have several formatting options:

To change any formatting properties, such as the font, click the hyperlinked text in the task pane, and then change any options you want in the dialog box that appears.

To determine the formatting source, such as whether the formatting comes from a style, select the Distinguish style source check box.

To show formatting marks, such as paragraph marks and tabs, select the Show all formatting marks check box.

To format a text selection so it matches the text that surrounds it, select the text. Point to the Selected text box, click the arrow, and then click Apply Formatting of Surrounding Text.

Itʹs easy to select all text with the same formatting in your Word document using the Styles and Formatting task pane.

This can be helpful for viewing the text, changing its formatting, or deleting it.

To select all text with the same formatting, open the Styles and Formatting task pane, and then, in your document, click a word thatʹs formatted like the text you want to select.

The formatting description will appear under Formatting of selected text in the Styles and Formatting task pane.

In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click Select All.
