Next: How do I undo the paragraph marks after each line?
From: christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com on 1 Jun 2010 12:31
As a longtime user of Word, I'm used to seeing the paragraph style displayed
at the top of the window. My office has switched to Word 2007 (just in time
for Word 2010 to be released!). The current paragraph style no longer seems
to be displayed, but only shows if I pull down the style list, and then I
have to scroll until I see the highlight. Is there an easier way to make it
show?

Found it-- Alt-H L A displays a box for this.

You can add the classic Style dropdown to the QAT. It will then display the
style at the insertion point.

Thanks. I need a little more detail. What is the QAT? How do I add the
dropdown to it?

The QAT is the Quick Access Toolbar, which defaults to a little toolbar
above the Home tab. If you click the down arrow at the end of that toolbar,
one of the choices is "More Commands". That will open the Customize dialog.
Set the category dropdown to All Commands. Locate and click on the item in
the list that says "Style" and shows a square containing an I-beam cursor
and a down arrow. Then click the Add button in the center of the dialog, and
click the OK button. That places a dropdown on the toolbar, which will
display the name of the style at the cursor location (if the selection isn't
extended to cover text with two or more styles).
