Custom Styles

Writage provides the ability to change the default styles used when opening a Markdown document in Word, so your documents match your own formatting requirements.

To do this, you create a custom Writage style set in Word’s Design tab. Once saved, this style set is applied automatically every time you open a Markdown file.

How to create a custom styles set

1. Launch Microsoft Word and open the Welcome document by clicking the Welcome button on the Writage ribbon. This document contains all the styles that Writage uses for Markdown documents.

2. Make the necessary changes to the styles, then open the Design tab and click the dropdown button in the bottom-right corner of the Document Formatting group.

3. Choose Save as a New Style Set.

4. In the dialog that appears, save the new style set with the name Writage and click Save.

5. The Writage style set will now appear in the Custom section of the Style Sets list.

6. All Markdown documents opened with Writage will now use your custom style set.

How to delete a custom styles set

To return to the default Writage styles, delete the custom Writage style set:

1. Open the Design tab and select the Writage style set in the Custom section.
2. Right-click on it and choose Delete.

3. Confirm by clicking Yes.
4. The Writage style set is removed and documents will open with the default styles.
