In Word, define a Style with those attributes and add it to Word's Style Gallery. Then, whenever you want to format something in that Style, simply click on the Style Gallery entry. You can also add the Styles dropdown to the QAT.

Thanks MacroPod for your quick reply.

I am new to Styles so not sure what i am doing wrong.

I created a new word document, set the font to Arial, size 11 and the colour i want.

I selected a piece of the text, and went to Styles in the mini toolbar above the selected text, and selected 'Styles', 'Create a style' and gave it the name ArialBlue11

Then saved and closed the document.

I opened a new Word document, typed some text in a different font, selected some text, but when i go to 'Styles' in the mini toolbar, the new Style titled ArialBlue11 cannot be seen.

Do i need to save this new Style in some special way so it can be seen in all documents... preferably old documnets as well as new ones?

Best Wishes,
Dave
