If you use styles within your documents, Word allows you to print a style sheet that you can use as a reference when applying and planning styles for your document. To print a style sheet, follow these steps:

Press Ctrl+P. Word displays the Print settings area.
Click the first setting under the Settings heading. (This setting shows as Print All Pages by default.) Word displays a drop-down list of options. (See Figure 1.)

If you are using Word 2007, then the steps are different:
