DrBroccoli Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I use Word 2008 for Mac almost daily for note-taking in Art History class, and as you can imagine, it involves a lot of dragging and dropping images from Google for quick references. When I drag it in, the default style Word gives it is less than to be desired: the wrapping is weird among other things. When I drag an image in I usually have to right click it, edit it's layout to change the wrapping to in front of text and then I add a drop shadow to make it look a bit nicer when I have to stare at the page for hours to study =D. My problem though is this takes time when I am trying to write down dates and whatnot from slides in class. Is there a way I can make my own custom "quick style" and add it to the formatting bar or at least change the properties for the entire document? This is the formatting bar I am talking about: As you can see, Word already has it's preset settings, but I don't want a giant border and reflection, I just want to add my own custom style but I have yet to find a way!

blachole Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm not in front of my mac at the moment, but I am not sure this is possible. I checked out Word 2007 on my work laptop and I don't think it's even possible to do something like this in this program and if that's the case then don't expect it to work in 2008 either. There used to be a formatting wizard built into Office back in the day that would allow you to record formatting to text/objects in a document and then you could click a button and it would apply those same steps to whatever you selected. I think that is what you are looking for, but I can't seem to find this feature in 2007 which makes me believe it was removed from previous versions of office? I'm sorry I can't be of further help, but I'll keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
