Formatting WORD "Styles" when editing a document in Word for Web
I have created documents in WORD (locally) & then saved the documents o Dropbox
As the document is being shared with my team, we usually use Dropbox online to open the WORD document using the option Word for Web so that we can collaborate on the document together.
I have noticed that specific "Style" formatting in Word for Web doesn't match the formatting when viewing the document in WORD itself.
Is there a way to update the styles formatting in the WORD for Web to match the styles formatting in WORD?
E.g. I have a style called HEADING 1 which in Word has a left border and top border on the paragraph.
This does not show when I open the document in Word for Web.
I checked the Styles settings in WORD for Web & I can't see an option to update the style heading formatting.

Hey melissap68, how are you today?
Interesting behavior! Could you send me a couple of screenshots, demonstrating how the document looks in Word, versus what you see when you open the file online?
That'll help me get the full visual idea on this.
Keep me posted!
