Thanks for the interesting post. I live in Word, as a writer, and really appreciate the power and flexibility of the program. When I finally figured out what "styles" were a few years ago, it totally opened the program up for me. Now I understand them even better -- thanks!

I love Office 2004, by the way. Entourage, in particular, is greatly improved. Though I wish that it could host Word directly as its email editor, like Outlook does on Windows. I appreciate having Word's toolset available, and I find writing the email in a Word document and then selecting Send to Recipient (as HTML) to be a bit cumbersome. It doesn't feel like writing email, so it breaks my flow, I think.

But I understand that Entourage is a world unto itself, and that the fact that the programs work as well together as they do is already something of a technical miracle.

Thanks again! All these fascinating, insider-look tech blogs are the best thing to come out of Microsoft in years.

Rick, thanks a lot for this great post on Styles in Office 2004. The MacBU team has made a great job on styles in Word 2004. I know way too many people who use Word on a daily basis with no idea of what styles even are. I hope these great improvements in the usability of this feature will finally get them to use styles (and make my life easier when I have to work on their files after them once they've messed up all the styles :-< ).

Excellent article. I haven't quite worked out the logic of why applying Emphasis style to a few words within an italicized paragraph leaves them italicized instead of removing italics, but I still found the example and counter-example fascinating. I really like the easy access o styles in the Formatting Palette. Congratulations.

MS blogger and MacBU developer Rick Schaut has a new blog entry on styles in Microsoft Word for Mac.

It's an interesting read, especially for people who already use (or

We've all heard the phrase before. Repeat it with us: 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.' As if Wes Meltzer's column on that topic isn't enough on its own, he has more blogosphere goings-on to reprt: Cocoa and Carbon history, Palm's support (or lack thereof?) for the Mac, iSync liberation, platform expatriation, Word 2004, and OS X's interface.
