Check for Formatting Inconsistencies


You can have Word mark, with wavy blue underlines, text you have formatted inconsistently in your document. This feature is useful when you want to make sure that you have applied direct formatting, such as italics, consistently or that you have used styles whenever possible.

For each formatting inconsistency, Word suggests a way that you can make the formatting consistent and give your document a more professional-looking appearance.

What kinds of formatting inconsistencies does Word check for?

Word looks for occurrences of similar, but not identical, formatting that you applied directly to text or lists. Word also looks for occurrences of formatting you applied directly to text that matches styles you applied elsewhere in your document.
