Introduction to Style formatting
You can think of a style as a set of pre-defined formatting instructions that you can use repeatedly throughout the document.
Possibly more important however is that styles are used to "tag" or identify parts of a document.
Styles allow for quick formatting modifications throughout the document and can be tied into numbering to make working with outline numbered lists easier.
Common Styles are Normal, Heading n, Title, subtitle, etc.
