Four kinds of styles are available: paragraph, character, table, and list styles. Icon in the Style dialog box Style type Paragraph styles determine the look of text in a document at the paragraph level. When you apply a paragraph style to text, the paragraph style is applied to the whole paragraph.

Paragraph styles are typically used to control the overall formatting of large sections of text, for example, the body of a newsletter or flyer. A paragraph style can include all the formatting definitions that a character style contains. However, it also controls all aspects of a paragraph's appearance, such as text alignment, tab stops, line spacing, and borders. By default, the Normal paragraph style is applied to all text in a blank, new document. Similarly, the List Paragraph style is applied to items in a list — for example, when you use the Bullets command to create a bulleted list. Character styles also determine the look of the text in a document, but at the character level. Character styles usually control the formatting of smaller sections of text, for example, to make one word in a paragraph stand out.

Character styles contain formatting characteristics such as font name, size, color, bold, italic, underline, borders, and shading. Character styles do not include formatting that affects paragraph characteristics, such as line spacing, text alignment, indentation, and tab stops. Several built-in character styles are available, such as Emphasis, Subtle Emphasis, and Intense Emphasis. Each of these built-in styles combines formatting, such as bold, italic, and accent color, to provide a coordinated set of typographic designs.

For example, applying the Emphasis character style formats text as bold, italic, in an accent color. Table styles determine the look of tables. This includes characteristics such as the text formatting of the header row, gridlines, and accent colors for rows and columns. You can use table styles to quickly apply complex formatting with one click. List styles determine the look of lists. This includes characteristics such as bullet style or number scheme, indentation, and any label text. • Select the words, paragraph, list, or table that you want to apply a style to.
