        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.
