How create Multiple Word Style Galleries

Experiment, Part 2
This continues the experiment to see what styles are in what Microsoft calls a Style Set and I refer to as a [Quick] Style Set. It tests the assertion/hypothesis that the only styles are those set for display in the [Quick] Styles Gallery on the Home tab.

Create a new document based on the Normal template.
Create a new custom style base on No Style.
Give it a font of Blue Comic Sans MS 24 pt.
Tell Word to store it in the Quick Styles Gallery (this is the default when creating a new style).
Modify your Normal Style to be Red Comic Sans MS.
Save a custom Quick Style Set.
Create a new document or open the sample attached previously. You want some normal style text in it.
Apply your new custom Quick Style Set.

Because your normal style was in the Quick Styles Gallery, it was in the style set and your normal text will change in your document to match the formatting in the style set.

If you look in the Quick Styles Gallery, you will see your Blue 24pt Comic Sans style as available.

Again, if a style is set to display in the Quick Styles Gallery (even if set to be hidden) when you create a Quick Style Set, it will be in the set. If it is not, it will not be.

If you've performed these experiments you now have two useless Quick Style Sets.
You can right-click on them in the designer tab and delete them.
