Style Gallery
I rely heavily on the Style Gallery in the Customized Ribbon while working in MS Word and the display of the Style Gallery has recently changed (to my disgust).
Style Gallery – MS Word has always displayed styles as below (which I liked) showing styles on two lines - with top line as 'AaBbCcDd...' in the actual style and the bottom line with name of style. These styles are spaced narrowly right next to each other so many more fit in the Style Gallery display.
But a few weeks ago, MS Word started displaying styles as below (which I detest) showing just one line of astyle name in the actual style. These styles are widely spaced with lots of white space between styles so only a few fit in the Style Gallery.
Why?
Did this change because there is an option/setup change that I mistakenly changed somehow to cause this and need to change back?
Was this due to an update of some sort by Microsoft that was installed automatically by them?
How do I get back to the style MS Word always displayed?
Thanks.

- I agree. It looks terrible and takes up too much space.
The modified appearance of the styles gallery is part of the redesign of the Office interface. As far as I know, Microsoft hasn't released any information on why these changed have been made. You can post feedback on the new design; for instructions, have a look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-office-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11.
- Thanks for the info. Well definitely do a feedback as you indicated....hopefully it has an impact.
