Word 2007: how do I customize sort order of Quick Styles gallery? Jewel Style 12/25/2008 6:29:01 PM If I alphabetize using the Styles window Options or Manage Style functions my Styles window list follows those commands but the Quick Styles gallery remains sorted in Recommended order. Thanks!

CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 12/25/2008 7:22:42 PM The Styles List & the QuickStyles Gallery are separate & independent mechanisms. I don't know of any way to have the Gallery organized differently than by its default groupings.

RE: Word 2007: how do I customize sort order of Quick Styles gallery? Aeneas 12/26/2008 1:41:00 PM The sort order of styles displayed in the Quick Style gallery is determined by the priority value assigned to the style. The priority value of the styles is set in the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box Therefore, to change the sort order in the gallery, change the priority value of the style. Styles with the same priority value will be displayed in alphabetical order. "Jewel Style" wrote [Quoted Text] > Community Message Not Available

Re: Word 2007: how do I customize sort order of Quick Styles gallery? CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 12/26/2008 2:08:19 PM Good Point! I found that later but it still amounts to a PITA relative to what the poster actually asked for - there is no simple "Sort A-Z" button :-) The styles remain grouped based on the assigned value & are arranged alpha within each group. To get the Gallery in pure alpha order every style would have to be assigned the same value, right? And if I read it right the bottom option for "All documents based on this template" would also have to be selected for the order to hold the setting.

Unfortunately, you're right. This wreaks havoc with the Styles task pane, Apply Styles task pane and the classic style gallery when only recommended styles are selected for display and the sort order is set to As Recommended. in the Style Pane Options dialog box. >And if I read it right the bottom > option for "All documents based on this template" would also have to be > selected for the order to hold the setting. Yes, it does hold the settings for new document. Despite these limitations, I find that I am using the Quick Style gallery far more frequently, especially given its easy access from the Mini Toolbar.
