Default Is it possible to show more Word styles in the ribbon?

Hi everyone,

When I got to the home tab of Word, I get the styles pane in the Home tab of the ribbon. This shows me 14 styles such as Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal, etc.

However, I have 17 styles I use, so three of them aren't visible - unless I click on the drop-down arrow.

Is there any way to show more than the 14 so that I don't need to keep clicking the arrow? Maybe by making each one of them smaller?

Thanks in advance!

Andie

The number of quick styles displayed is largely a function of available space on the ribbon. Why not add a tab to the ribbon and display the styles and nothing else there?

Thanks for the reply but it didn't work. Besides, I could really do with other stuff on the custom tab - not just my styles.

PS Ooooh, it DID work in terms of the amount of styles, sorry! But yeah, I still need to get the other stuff on my ribbon.

So that it looks like this (but ideally with all my styles):

I think the only way to achieve what you want - to show more ‘styles’ in the Ribbon, is to use a bigger monitor/screen/display with a high resolution.
You appear to be already using a large widescreen to show a greater selection of your styles. The larger screen allows the Ribbon to be expanded horizontally, to show more content. This content would be hidden in dropdown menus on smaller screens/lower resolutions.

My examples below show Word 2016 on a laptop with a 15.6 inch screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (125% scale) and the same laptop connected to a 55 inch TV with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.



You might be able to see a little more if you have a System Display Scale set above 100% and lowering it down from say 125% to 100% will show everything (globally) smaller on your screen but should effectively expand the Ribbon in Word to show a little more.
The global effect may not be suitable for all applications and your eyesight!.

  1. You can have more than one custom Ribbon tab. Modifying the Ribbon in Microsoft Word
  2. You can remove styles you don't use from the Quick Styles Gallery.
  3. You could use the legacy Styles Pane instead of the gallery.
