Quick Style "Fancy"

[Dlouis688]

So I've been going crazy try to find the quick style "Fancy" that's required
for this computer lit. class i'm taking over the internet for school. The
book i'm using is for windows so mabye my office 2008 doesn't even have the
quick style "fancy?" It also has a picture showing other styles like elegant
and formal. If someone could tell me where "fancy" is or if it is not in
office 2008 at all, it would be a great help. Thanks a ton.

There is no "Style" named "Fancy" in Mac:Word. Mac:Word does not have Quick
Styles either, nor does it have Quick Style "Sets".

In Word 2007, "Fancy" is the name of one of the "Sets" of quick styles.

For the course, it probably doesn't matter much what you use, so you could
try the Document Theme named Equity in Word 2008, which will make your
document look similarly garish as "Fancy".

I would hope that the next thing they will teach you is that the whole idea
of "Quick" styles is that you can create and change them to suit yourself.

I encourage you to have your wicked way with the styles in Word 2008. If
you get good at setting up styles, you will save yourself about half a
lifetime in using Microsoft Word.

A "style" is simply a collection of formatting characteristics to which we
give a name, so we can find it again. This makes it a snap to achieve total
consistency in formatting documents.

If you devote about two hours to really understanding styles now, you will
almost not have to think about formatting your documents in Word, ever
again.

So this is an important part of the course that will pay you huge rewards if
you send time on it.

And after that, come back here and we'll teach you the expert techniques
they won't cover in the course.

Cheers

Thanks for the input. I was going nuts trying to find the quick styles. I'm
really only taking this class because it's required for my major
(microbiology) but I am learning some cool things about Office I wouldn't
have tried on my own. Again, thanks for all your help.

I seem to remember that WordPerfect 3.5 (Mac) did have something called
QuickStyles -- in essence it was a way to create a simple style without
going through a lot of steps. *Maybe* the OP is referring to the same
feature in WP Windows (I really wouldn't know). Maybe I'm completely off
base!

No: Word 2007 does have a Quick Style set named Fancy.

This is one of the things that was not ready in time to make it into the box
for Word 2008, due to the change to Intel processors on the Mac.

In Word 2007, the Document Theme concept is extended to encompass "sets" of
Quick Styles. Quick Styles, in turn are a subset of the default styles
built in to a document.

If you switch to the "Fancy" set of Quick Styles, Word applies a Theme that
sets up the colours, fonts, borders etc on this set of styles.

Behind the scenes it is an implementation of cascading style sheets.

As John said, Quick Styles are exclusive to Office 2007. For more info have
a look jhere:

Isn't the same processors used in Mac used in Windows PC's with the
exception of the BOIS?

Sound like another smoke and Mirrors. The Desktop uses the same Xenon
chips in PC Products just some code change to the Mac and UNIX components??

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

Hi Phillip:

Ummm... You have to understand that 80 per cent of the running time of a
GUI application is running operating system code, not application code.

And the development environment in Mac OS is very different from the
development environment in Windows: think X-code vs Visual Studio.

So really the only thing they get to steal is the application design, the
business logic if you like. All the rest has to be re-coded afresh on the
Mac platform.

So: Mac OS X will run just fine in a PC on a PC BIOS, provided you hack a
few of the system files to allow for some low-level hardware being at
different memory addresses and using different hardware interrupts.

But the instructions that processor is running are dramatically different on
each platform. Windows is closer to the DEC PDP operating system than it is
to Unix. Many of the concepts are the same, but the design is a lot more
DEC-like than Unix-like.
