MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If direct formatting has been applied to a paragraph with an applied style, an asterisk will appear after the paragraph style name displayed in the Ribbon Style drop-down list box (for example, “Paragraph 1* (SP)”).

This feature of the ribbon is designed to allow you to quickly determine if the paragraph formatting is exactly the same as the defined paragraph style or a combination of the paragraph style and direct paragraph formatting.

Direct formatting can be removed by reapplying the paragraph style. To reapply a paragraph style, position the cursor within the paragraph, press CTRL+SHIFT (or CTRL+Y) and the key code. Once direct or manual formatting is removed, the asterisk will no longer appear next to the style name in the Ribbon Style drop-down list box.
