Unfiltered HTMLFormatting vs. Styles in Word (video) by Ron Owens on June 21

Styles may be the most important feature in Word. Learn to use Styles and not only will you save yourself a lot of time from having to click bold buttons, italicize, change the font, change it back again, adjust the paragraph spacing, and ... well, you get the idea. But it also allows you to access other features in Word that will make your work so much easier.

If you're not using Styles in Word, I hope to win you over in this video by demonstrating the advantage of the feature versus manually formatting text (aka "directly formatting text").

And here are a couple of the other benefits to using Styles:

You can automatically create and update a table of contents.You can use the new Navigation Pane -- my favorite new feature in Word 2010!

Jessica Reading recently demonstrated these two features at the Mom 2.0 conference.

Styles are helpful and a real time saver. (And they're kind of fun!)
