Live Preview with Styles button on QAT?

[PRR]

I like the live preview feature of Office 2007. However, to see it in use
with styles, I have to hit the home menu, then move over to the various
styles, which usually involves an extra click to find the style I want. I
have already added the styles button to the QAT, to let me know immediately,
what style the selected text is. Is there a way to activate the live preview
when I mouse over a new style? Or do I have to access the live preview
feature only via the ribbon (Home, etc.)?

You can add the style gallery to the QAT. Right click anywhere in the style
gallery in the Home tab and choose Add to QAT. Once done, you get a dropdown
tool in the QAT, and when you click on it and then mouse over any of the
styles, you get live preview. You do need to click before you see the
styles, so it's almost as much work as clicking on Home first (except that
if you're focused on a different tab, you won't need to click to return to
it once you've finished with the styles).

Herb, thanks. I was able to place that on the QAT. Based on your suggestion,
I also did the same to get my fonts up on the QAT, again, with the live
preview. That has got to be one of the coolest things in 2007. Anyways,
thanks again.

Gotta agree--live preview beats the heck out of dead preview. ;-)

Cheers,
