How iCreate can make your Firm More Productive using Microsoft Word

1. Using Microsoft Word Styles...Does this sound like a lot of work?

Would you think of running the Boston Marathon without first getting in great running shape? Of course not. It‘s the same when you are working on long or complicated documents and you haven’t taken the time to learn "styles" to make yourself significantly more productive (like ignoring the training regimen before you ran that marathon, it can be a painful experience).

A style in Microsoft Word is a set of saved formatting characteristics that control paragraph and character attributes. Applying a style to a paragraph means that the appearance and behavior of that paragraph will be determined by the definitions in that style. There's no need to apply each formatting characteristic individually (called direct formatting) when you use styles.

Why Using styles is both Powerful and Productive

    • Formatting changes can be made globally throughout a document
    • Allows a firm to have a consistent look and feel across all documents
    • Formatting paragraphs, numbering schemes and characters is very fast

    Yet many people avoid using styles from force of habit, lack of understanding or experience, or they find reformatting styles to be too complex.
