Using styles makes formatting easier. Styles apply properties, or characteristics that control appearance, to paragraphs. Styles can apply to any paragraph in your document.
The template that you select in the eSuite Workplace when creating a document contains predefined styles. The first time you type a new paragraph, the default body style it is applied. You can use the default body style, apply another style, or create your own style.
You can create your own style for any combination of properties that you think you will want to reuse.
For example, you can select some text, make it bold and give it a 12 point font size, and then create a style named "Heading" or "Banner" that you can apply every time you want a bold style heading. Later, if you decide you want the heading to be italic instead of bold, you only have to change the style, instead of manually changing every instance.
When you create styles, they are added to the list of available styles for that document.
