Thanks for that. the only styles I know anything about are CSS styles and I know little about them and virtually never use them. A little bit in Kompozer. A quick look at the first link and it seems that Word styles are very much the same thing. Staggering amount of information there - it'll be quite a while before i ever get through all that, if I ever do.
First observation is that it would have been good if it had a style that enabled it to resize to fit the window in Firefox here. The text exceeds the window size and comes with scroll bars on the bottom because of that. Very inconvenient to have to scroll to the end of each line isn't it?


I don't quite see why the code sets the style to 'redchar' and then has to set the font size. Font size couldn't be specified in the style 'redchar' ?

You can have both font size and color in a style. The size will not be relative to the current size but a fixed point value.


Start with the second Basic Concepts link.


Word is built on styles, they are a central part of the program and how it handles documents. Importance of Styles in Word (That is a link to a part of the first link on Styles.)

we can't download/printout this whole thing in one lump? Like starting at :
Basic Concepts of Microsoft Word - derived from Shauna Kelly's site
