Where has the "Change Styles" button gone?

The Colors, Fonts, Paragraph Spacing, and Style Sets selections that were available under Change Styles in Word 2010 are now on the new Design tab in Word 2013. The thumbnails for the style sets aren't large enough to be very helpful, but I guess they're better than the simple names on the menu in Word 2010.

Thank you for the response. It proved helpful.

Although for the life of me I cannot understand why MS decided to change a process that worked perfectly and to make it somewhat more involved  and require several more mouse click to achieve what could be achieved with a single click in the previous versions.

I now know how to do this and can answer questions from my clients who are equally bemused by the totally unnecessary change.

That's all very well and from the length of your response a complex process.

The original question remains, where has the "simple facility" to pick a style with one click gone. Perhaps more to the point why has it gone.

In this world we need less complexity and much more simplicity. The acronym KISS is so apt here.

I am not expecting an answer to my original request as it would appear the people who design/develop  these tools don't actually use them in the real world so have little or no appreciation of what they do or how they do it in everyday business.

I'm probably using style sets in a different way. 

I use them to manage the styles gallery.  I make a style set for each template I create. It  has all built-in and user-defined styles that may need to be applied later.  This is the one that I and other formatters use.  Another style set based on the same template is for for writers.  It has fewer styles (say, normal/body text, list bullets 1 and 2, headings 1 to 5, caption, table heading, table text, and table bullet)--just enough to help them show the document's structure.  I find that writers use styles more often when they are easy to find—right there in the  styles gallery at the top of the window.  I still use the styles pane more often, mainly because  I have it set to display all the styles in the document alphabetically.

I use them to manage styles gallery clutter.  In some versions, every time a style is added to a document, either deliberately or through pasting, it automatically gets added to the styles gallery at recommend level 1.  These unwanted entries push wanted styles off the first line of the gallery.  I get rid of them by reapplying the style set.  In W2010, I could click the style set name to reapply it or I could choose to  reset quick styles (read style set) from template or reset document style set.  W2016 only offers reset to default style set--I haven't taken the time yet to figure out what that means (normal.dotm, the document template, the document itself??).

I use them to manage multi-input documents.  When I get documents piecemeal and they must for a time remain that way, I can get the styles I need to format them very quickly by applying the template's style set.  The big up side of this is that the template's default settings get transferred too (which doesn't happen when you use import/export (aka the organizer)).  The downside is that table and list styles do not get transferred (which import/export will allow you to do). 

I also use a style set to get rid of the clutter that comes in normal.dotm. I created a style set that omits the stuff I don't want in the styles gallery (book title, intense emphasis, etc.) and puts in the stuff I do (list bullet 1,  caption and such).  I get rid of them in the styles pane too. 

In W2010, the style sets are listed in a nice neat little drop-down.  My style sets show at the top because I started each style set's file name with #.  So there they are, immediately clear and available.  In W2016, I have to hover each badge for 2 or 3 seconds to see the style set (file) name. This is slow, and I'm more likely to make a mistake. 

So, yes I do agree that this change is for the worse.  I don't know that I would have come to understand the relation between style sets and the styles gallery with them as far apart as they are in W2013 & 16.  I suspect the people who split them up don't get it yet.

Hi Allen

For perhaps less clicks, remember that many of the style sets showed from the Change styles button in Word 2010, can also be found on the Themes button on the Page Layout tab. The one article Parth linked to shows that that is now available on the Design tab.

I have actually, from Word 2007 right through to Word 2016 now, found the Styles gallery to be woefully inadequate.

Try using the Styles Pane instead (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, or click on the dialog launcher button sitting nearly invisibly in the bottom right corner of the Styles group on the Home tab.

There, right-clicking on a style allows you to modify it, and there is a New Style button at the bottom as well. Added to that, changing the options (bottom right of the pane) allows you to see all the styles.

Although I think your question relates more to the themed style sets that formatting styles.
