displaying styles and direct formatting Word 2007

[Carole]

I see how to show only styles in a document, all styles, etc. what I don't
know is how to toggle between the list showing direct formatting and not. Is
there a way?

 

[Stefan Blom]

Clear the "Keep track of formatting" option in the Advanced category of the
Word Options dialog box (Office button | Word Options).

What should I see, I do not see a difference. The first time I tried it Word
crash this time nothing happened? Is there something else I need to look at
too?

 

[Stefan Blom]

The option I mentioned should display entries such as "Bold" or "Normal + 10
pt" in the Styles pane.

However, if you are referring to showing (hiding) formatted entries in the
Styles pane itself, check (clear) the "Show Preview" option in that pane.
