Introduction to Style formatting

You can think of a style as a set of pre-defined formatting instructions that you canuse repeatedly throughout the document.

Possibly more important however is that stylesare used to "tag" or identify parts of a

document. Styles allow for quick formatting

modifications throughout the document andcan be tied into numbering to make workingwith outline numbered lists easier.

Common Styles are Normal, Heading n, Title,subtitle, etc.
