Headings & Styles

[Doc]

I have a technical manual that has to be reformatted with headings and
styles. Nothing is consistent from the way it was originally done by many
users. Can I clear the old formatting styles and reapply new styles so that
they are consistent throughout the document. I am having a hard time
understanding or trying to find the correct way of doing this. Thank you

CTRL+A
Apply the normal paragraph style
CTRL+Space
CTRL+Q
and all the formatting will have been removed.
Format to taste.

Just select all (Ctrl+A) and then press Ctrl+Shift+N; this applies the
Normal style to all paragraphs. After that it's all manual work! Use the
Styles pane (Word 2007) or the Styles and Formatting pane (Word 2003) to
apply styles as appropriate.

Note that it is a good idea to print the document before you start
reformatting; that way, you can see the original look while you are working.
