MORE INFORMATION

The Style Area is an area to the left of the text area that shows or hides applied styles. This option is available only when you are using normal view. To turn this option on or off, do the following:

  1. On the View menu, click Normal.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then choose the View tab.

  3. Set the Style Area Width measurement. For example, type 1" in the Style Area Width box to show the style area or type 0 (zero) in Style Area Width box to hide the style area. Click OK.
