    Session1: Styles

    Q1. What is a Style?


    Ans. Style is a set of formats that we can apply to selected pages, text, frames, and their
    elements in the document to quickly change their appearance. When we apply a style,
    we apply a whole group of formats at the same time.
    Styles are logical attributes. Using Style means, that we stop saying "font size 14
    points,Times New Roman, Bold, Centred", and we start saying "Style Name" because we
    have defined the “Style Name” .

     Style helps improve consistency in a document.
