As mentioned in other post that when you are creating your thesis or other documents with Word 2007 or 2010, it is highly recommended to expand your style panel to see all styles available in that document. You may also want to expand the style panel when you are reading a Word 2007 or 2010 document created by other people to see whether they have applied styling system to that document or not. A document created with a good styling will have a very consistent look throughout that document and in the style panel you can see all the styles being applied to the document.
When you type any text in a paragraph on your document, by default that paragraph text will use the style 'Normal' as you can see on Style panel. Whatever the style and formatting being associated with style 'Normal', that will appear in the text.
In regard to thesis creation, it is generally recommended to use style Heading 1 for your Chapter headings, style Heading 2 for Sub-chapter headings, style Heading 3 for Sub sub-chapter headings, etc. This is very important to remember because Word 2007 and 2010 by default will use Heading style to be included in Table of Contents. By applying Heading styles appropriately, you will produce a very nice and consistent document.
