•  Character Styles: They are used for selected text within a paragraph. It includes font name, font size, bold, italics,
                underline, superscript, subscript, etc. By using character styles, you can change the appearance of a part of a
                paragraph without affecting the other part.
              •  Frame Styles: Frames are used to format images and text within a document, including features such as borders,
                backgrounds, and columns. By using frames, a document can be organised into sections, allowing each section to
                have a distinct appearance. Frames act as containers that can hold text, graphics, and lists.
              •  Page Styles:  They are used for formatting the pages. It includes  margins, headers and  footers, borders and
                backgrounds. A document can have one or many page styles. If a page style is not specified, Writer uses its built-in
                default page style.
              •  List Styles: They are used for determining the appearance of bulleted or numbered lists, including the type of bullets
                or numbering, indentation, and spacing.
              •  Table Styles: They are used for determining the appearance of tables, including borders, shading, alignment, and
                text formatting within table cells.

              Using Styles in a Document
              Suppose, a user wants to keep the heading aligned to centre in uppercase and blue colour with larger font in several
              pages of a document. In normal case, he has to apply each of the formatting options (alignment, font, colour) each
              time on the repetitive content, thus making the process lengthy. But when the related formatting commands are
              stored in a ‘Style’, he can apply that ‘style’ on each selected content to apply all actions at one go.

              Predefined Heading style(s) act as bookmarks in a document. These bookmarks allow faster browsing in a document.
              There are two ways to apply an existing style:

              •  By using Style pane
              •  By using Fill Format Mode
