Change Styles is for switching Quick Style Sets, Theme Colors, and Theme
Fonts. What you want is just below the Change Styles button, the dialog box
launcher. It's the little button with the arrow. You can also press
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S to display the Styles task pane. Once displayed, you'll see
the Styles Inspector at the bottom, the middle button with the magnifying
glass.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
