Word Style Names in English, Danish, German, French

There may be situations where you need to know the name of a built-in style in another language. This article lets you download a PDF document that contains the built-in style names in English, Danish, German and French.

The style list covers Word 2010 and earlier versions

The style list contains a total of 267 built-in styles, representing the built-in styles in Word 2010. Thanks to Tony Jollans who provided information that helped me find missing style names in German and French.

How to get a full list of built-in style names if you are using Word 2013 or newer version of Word

New built-in styles added in Word 2013, Word 2016, Word 2019, and Word for Microsoft 365 are not included in the current version of the PDF file you can download below.

However, you will find all built-in style names in English, covering Word 2003, Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2016, Word 2019, and Word for Microsoft 365 in the Word document you can download from the article Create List of Local Built-in Style Names. If you are not using an English version of Word, the document you can download via the link above lets you generate a list of all the built-in style names in your language version – you only need to click a button to do so.
