Yes, apparently there's some staff which are not comfortable with things looking different to how they're used to.


While obviously it would be best to put the Quick Styles panel on it's own tab (using customise ribbon rather than customise QAT quick access toolbar) and only show the styles to be available to these users, apparently it's not an option and they "want it to look how it was". Not an ideal premise I know, but it is the premise and leads to this question.


You're right - "normal button" is a terrible description heheh! What they are "used to" are small buttons with an icon and label - around the size and style of the "Cut" or "Copy" buttons on the home-tab of Word.


I feel reasonably confident they could adapt to larger buttons (like the size of the "Paste" button on the home tab) but apparently they are completely put off by the look and interface of the Quick Styles buttons on the right-third of the Home tab. Hence, the question.


I couldn't find an answer so I'm assuming it's not possible without programming our own add-in of some sort - which seems an unrealistic amount of investment, so asking the question to see if I've overlooked anything.


Cheers!
