Scroll down to the Style section and you’ll find many entries, enough to confuse anyone. Go to Quick Access Toolbar customization and choose either ‘All Commands’ or ‘Commands not in the ribbon’. UNhappily, it’s hidden among other command choices with the same or similar names! Happily the classic Style menu is available on the Quick Access Toolbar. You can’t see ‘at a glance’ what style is currently used unless it happens to be one of the few in the currently displayed row. Microsoft’s ‘great for demonstrations’ Style Gallery on the ribbon only lets you select a style. We much prefer the older Style menu over the fancy Style gallery for the simple reason that ‘classic’ style menu shows the style used for the current selection. Heading styles and Normal style can get buttons on the QAT.Īny other style can also get a QAT button with a bit of extra work.įinally, we’ll explain why we don’t bother with style buttons on the QAT and the faster alternative.

I want to get rid of this blank line when I hide the Content Controls and add it back when I unhide it to visualize the document like before. So since almost every document has a blank line in between these special marked paragraphs (having Content Controls), after hiding them, that line becomes blank and there exists one more blank line above them which was originally there. I also hide the textboxes and other shapes. Font.Hidden=-1 when I want to hide all the content controls within the document. These are marked by adding contentĬontrols.

In your last message, this probably isn't feasible, so. So forgive me if I continue to approach this more obliquely than you'd like - I'm really trying to make it easier and more reliable :-)Ī question for you: Why don't you format that entire paragraph containing the content control as hidden? My personal preference would be to apply specific styles to these paragraphs, then change the style definition. I suspect my major problem is that I'm so steeped in 'Word lore' that I have trouble accepting 'brute force' approaches to things that - in my world - should be done with more 'finesse'.
