I wasn't a big Word user prior to the ribbon so I can't compare before and after, however I've found applying styles about as easy as it can be (select text, click the style in the ribbon). Were they in a more convenient location before?
- kayodelycaon 4y agoIf Word had styles prior to the ribbon, I didn’t know about it. I imagine very few people knew they existed.
- NonNefarious 4y agoThere was always a style drop-down in the toolbar. My experience goes back to Word for Windows (named thusly to differentiate it from the DOS version). Check it out: https://www.idgcdn.com.au/article/images/750x750/dimg/m_img_11401.jpg https://www.idgcdn.com.au/article/images/750x750/dimg/m_img_... It's the management and use of styles that I find has regressed drastically. When I press the Style drop-down, I want to see only MY styles. I don't want to scroll through a shitload of canned styles that Microsoft has laden the application with, featuring every variety of color and thickness of underline. The last time I tried Word (not that long ago), there was no way to get rid of this huge pile of crap. Word peaked at version 6, I think. Is there anything important missing from this toolbar? https://www.versionmuseum.com/images/applications/microsoft-word/microsoft-word^1993^word-for-windows-6.0-tip-of-the-day.png https://www.versionmuseum.com/images/applications/microsoft-...
