Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.) is not open, click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.).
In the Styles and Formatting task pane, right-click the paragraph style (paragraph style: A combination of character- and paragraph-formatting characteristics that are named and stored as a set. You can select a paragraph and use the style to apply all of the formatting characteristics to the paragraph at one time.) for which you want to specify a following style, and then click Modify.
