The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need this proposal to match our brand. Apply the company theme so headings, body text, and accent colors match Marketing's updated palette, then update the Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Quote styles to our font choices: Calibri 11 for body, Calibri Bold 14 for H1, Calibri Semibold 12 for H2, and Georgia Italic 11 for quotes. Check a few sample pages to confirm spacing and bulleted lists follow the theme and save the file as Proposal_2026_BrandApplied.docx.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send this draft to Marketing, make the theme easy to accept. Surface the brand differences up top: list the current font and color for body and H1, then show the proposed font and color. Make the change reversible and flag any element that won't update automatically, like manually formatted tables or embedded images. Create a one-paragraph note explaining why these theme choices fix our accessibility and printing issues.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I applied a theme but headings still look wrong
I just applied the company theme to the client proposal, but several headings still show different fonts and colors. I changed the Normal style first; I am worried some text was direct-formatted or imported from old templates. I cannot re-typeset the whole 40-page document and I cannot ask Marketing for a new version today. What likely caused the mismatch and what is the quickest, safest way to force all headings to the theme without losing intentional local formatting in tables or captions?

Become — change the pattern
+We keep redoing the same theme fixes across docs
Every quarter we get documents from sales and contracts that don't pick up our theme, and we spend hours reapplying styles. I want to stop firefighting this repeatedly. Where are we wasting time in our handoffs, what habit should we change in the team who creates drafts, and what one checklist or setting change would prevent most of these theme drift problems going forward?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
