How can I modify a style

Modify a style in MS Word

To modify a style in MS Word, follow these steps:

1) Select a paragraph which has been formatted with the style you wish to modify
2) Make the required formatting changes to the paragraph using any method you choose
3) With the paragraph still selected, reselect the style from the Style List. A dialog box will appear which will give you two options - either reapply the original style, or Update the style to reflect the changes you have made.
4) Select Update the style to reflect recent changes and click OK.

The style will now be updated to include your changes and anywhere within your document where the style has been used will now reflect those changes.
