In a long document in Word 2007 I have lots of text from other sources so
different styles and heading levels. In previous versions of Word this
information appeared when text selected. The style pane only has 4 items and
I don't want to have to scroll through all styles to find which one is
highlighted.
How can I easily see the style for a particular line?

On status line on right hand side click Draft view. Make sure in
Word Options
scroll down ot Advanced
Style Option Pane set .7" width for style pane
And on left hand side of your document you can see the style applied to each
paragraph.

Hope this helps.

CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S will throw up the styles window, or you could add
"Styles..." to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)

Hi, Thanks both. However is there a way to make just the Style of selected
text appear? I find the screen is rather crowded even without the ribbon.
When I resize the Style window I have to scroll a lot as the relevant style
usually somewhere else  in a long list.--

You can tear off the Style List with options, bottom corner of  Styles
(Change Styles) on Home Tab and select all the same style if that is what
you require?

You can also use Find to search for a named Style if that helps.

Thanks, I have found that it is very useful to take your earlier suggestion
and have the style pane on the left in checking for inconsistencies in style
in the footnote area. But I am still surprised that this software does not
enable me to point at, or select, a line and be able to see the style in use,
although I can see the font, size of letters etc etc.

Could Find be used to check next instance of text which is NOT in the
required style, say of Footnote Text?

Have you added the Style command to the QAT yet?

Graham's suggestion will do what you want add Styles to the QAT the style in
use will show on the QAT Styles button I use that.
