Discussion on:

Make Word's Quick Style gallery work for you

This is really cool. I had used this feature a lot in college when we had to create assignments and projects every other day. Nice feature

Yet another instance where you've pointed out something that will save me (and others) time. Thank you!

At last, a concise and understandable discussion of styles.

Your tips are really useful and this one helps to make my use of this feature easier and more controlled. Thanks

I'm glad you guys found this one useful -- the Styles gallery is efficient and helpful, but users still don't know how to make the most of it! Once you get all your favorite styles moved to the top -- applying styles is a quick click. I advocate styles in most complex documents and I understand why users fight them. The easier they are to apply and maintain, the more users will get out of their use!

How to get the selection of preferred quick styles in any newly created doc? Through its template? I found that the quick style list is not saved with its template, thus opening a new doc based on its template still opens Word's own standard Quick Style list....
And how to get this selection as Quick Styles set in an exisiting document replacing the exisiting ones in that existing doc?
Please explain the difference/relationship between:
- Styles in template
- Quick Style set
- Themes
Quite confusing, even for me who is really trying hard for a long time to understand and to explain to others...

How to limit the usable styles to a few selected, so less style-savvy colleagues are forced to use only these selected styles, without falling into the trap of using non-approved styles? Through Review>Restrict Editing>Formatting Restrictions ??
Or can I do by deleting all non-approved styles in the template/doc?
