Printing Style Sheets

Summary: Styles are used extensively in some documents. This tip explains how you can easily print a list of all the styles used in a document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

In your permanent documentation for a file, you may wish to print a record of the style sheet you used. Word allows you to do this quite easily. Simply follow these steps:

Choose Print from the File menu. This displays the Print dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
In the Print What drop-down list (at the bottom of the dialog box), select Styles.
Click on Print.

The resultant style sheet is not terribly pretty, but it provides the information you may need to understand (at a later date) the styles you used in developing your document.

Tip #989 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
