Troubleshoot styles

Why is the Style command unavailable on the Format menu?

If Style is unavailable (that is, it appears dimmed), you might have cascading style sheets (CSS) disabled in the browser compatibility settings.

To enable or disable specific versions of CSS, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Page Options, and then click the Compatibility tab.
2. Do one or more of the following:
   • Select or clear the CSS 1.0 (formatting) check box to enable or disable commands that use CSS version 1.0, such as adding space before or after a paragraph.
   • Select or clear the CSS 2.0 (positioning) check box to enable or disable commands that use CSS version 2.0, such as position boxes or send-to-front.

   Note   The CSS 2.0 (positioning) check box is automatically disabled if you disable CSS 1.0 (formatting).
