Andrew_1079 The only way that you can modify a Style in the Online version of Word, is to select some text that has the required attributes and then access the Styles Gallery and right click on the Style and then click on "Update [Style name} to match selection".
- When I do what you explain and try to update a style, the selected text goes on bullet points. Instead of the style being updated with the attributes of the selected text, it looks like it works the other way round.
First, apply the style to a text paragraph, then make the desired changes and finally update the style so that it matches the selection.
Note that Word Online has many limitations compared to the desktop versions of Word running on a Mac or PC. You may not be able to successfully include all types of formatting.
- This fails to work with any style not showing up without pressing the down arrow because when my screen looks like yours my update to match selection choice appears behind the window which makes it impossible to use.
