We can use styles to quickly apply a set of formatting choices consistently
throughout our document. If we want formatting choices that are not
available from the built-in styles and themes available in Word, we can
modify an existing style and customize it to suit our needs. We can change
the formatting (such as font size, colour, and text indentation) in styles
applied to titles, headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on. We can also select
formatted text in our document to create a new style in the Styles gallery.
A style in Word is nothing more than a clutch of text and paragraph formats.

format our text first and then make a style to match. We can find styles
located on the Home tab and Design Tab, in the Styles group.

type of style.

Character: The character style formats only characters, not paragraphs.

Linked: The linked style is a combination style that can be applied to both
paragraphs and individual characters. The difference depends on which text is
selected when we apply the style.
Table: The table style is applied to tables, to add lines and shading to the
table cells’ contents.

List: The list style is customized for presenting lists of information. The
styles can include bullets, numbers, indentation, and other formats typical for
the parts of a document that present lists of information.
