Using Styles in a Document
Suppose, a user wants to keep the heading aligned to center 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.
