I can't modify styles in Word Online
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.
Stefan_Blom Ok that worked, thanks.
I now have a issue applying the style separator. I've heard I should customize my ribbon to add that function, but it looks like you can't do it on the online version.I need to have 2 styles on the same line (eventually I will use one of them for the table of contents).
If I select a text and chose any style (but the "Normal" one) then, as expected, the selected text changes its style. But if the style I chose is the default "Normal", then all the text in the line goes onto "Normal".
In other words, Normal is applied to all the paragraf, not just the selected text.
I haven't tested recently, but my guess is that the style separator is another feature which is supported poorly, if at all, in Word Online.
The style separator is fully supported in Word for Windows, but not necessarily in Word for Mac.
