Creating styles

A style is a collection of formatting attributes that you can apply to text or graphics. Using styles ensures consistent formatting throughout a document. Whenever you change the formatting in a style, you change the appearance of all text or graphics that use that style. Styles you create are added to the style list and saved with the active document.
