How do you format part of a document without affecting the rest of the document.

RE: Formatting documents

Hi Graham, Thank you for your post, as in all operations in Word, we need to select (highlight) the area which we want Word to operate upon. In the case of formatting a particular area of a document, if you highlight that area and then perform your formatting commands, only that area will be affected. I hope that helps, best regards Pete

Word tip:

Controlling the appearance of the Styles task pane

Do you find it confusing when all the manual formatting changes you make to text in your document keep getting listed in your styles task pane?

You can change the settings in Word to stop this from happening.

1. Go to Tools - Options.
2. Select the Edit tab.
3. Remove the tick from the check box next to the 'Keep track of formatting' option.

Now the styles task pane should only list styles that are being used or are available for use in your documents.
