Apply Styles
A style is a set of formatting instructions that you can apply to text.
Word provides a number of predesigned styles and groups styles that apply similar formatting into sets called
style sets.
Whereas a theme changes the overall colors, fonts, and effects used in a document, a style set changes how the
colors, fonts, and effects are combined and which color, font, and effect is dominant.
A variety of methods is available for applying styles to text in a document. You can apply a style by clicking the
style thumbnail in the Styles group on the HOME tab or by clicking the More button and then clicking the desired
style at the drop-down gallery.

Modify an Applied Style
One of the advantages of applying styles in a document is that if you modify the style formatting, all of the text
in the document to which that style has been applied automatically updates.
Using styles streamlines formatting and maintains consistency in your documents.
