Without proper management, Microsoft Word's styles pane remains or can quickly become a mess of styles you don't need - making finding the style you need challenging at best.
Check out this quick video tip about the Styles Panel in Word from the Affinity Insight course live training session Word Styles.
Options
Save your sanity by opting out of showing formatting as styles. The styles pane options include options for showing paragraph formatting, font formatting, and bullet and numbering formatting as styles. Uncheck these three boxes, and your styles pane will instantly be simplified.
At the top of the options dialog box, change the sort order to alphabetical to ensure that your styles fall in a logical (alphabetical) order. Only use as recommended if the alphabetical order does not work well for a particular document. If so, control the recommended order by assigning values under manage styles.
Show Only the Styles You Need
The styles pane is most effective when it shows only the styles you need. Unnecessary styles force you to scroll needlessly and open the door to formatting mistakes. Under manage styles, hide all of the styles. Then methodologically show only the styles you need, one-by-one.
