Jay and Suzanne - thanks for your answers to my queries.
Jay mentioned that I shouldn't be too averse to using several styles. The
thing that gets me about styles is that if I have to change formatting - for
example, quoting a long passage in an essay is best done in smaller text and
indented both left and right, with space before and after the quote - the
sytle menu clutters up with lots of automatically-generated styles, and by
the time I'm nearer the end of the document it's just a mess. I prefer to
keep it simple, with Normal (now also with Normal no-indent - it works
fine!) and three Headings.
Can you recommend a way to use styles more effectively? It would probably
save me a lot of time when using Word in future. I know that's quite a
general question, but you seem to be wise in the way of using styles well,
and tips would be much appreciated. Maybe there's even a website on tips on
using Word in general?
And finally - and more specifically - is there any way of formatting
footnote text in templates? Footnotes are not listed on the style menu. FYI,
I use Verdana, 10pt. Footnotes generated when this is the Normal style do
not change to 8pt, as I would like it. Any way of altering the template?
Answers to both queries very much appreciated. Thanks once again!
