Would you like to simplify the way you format documents? Create a library of styles that you can apply to documents as you create them. No need to remember the formatting rules anymore. Simply create a style document for each type of document you create regularly, and store them together in a folder that you and your peers can access. As you create a document, you can apply the appropriate style to each part.

Michael Green is the VP of Sales and Marketing at Husky Planes. He maintains a library of styles for the different types of documents his department produces regularly, which he stores in a folder in the Sales conference to share with his employees.

One of the documents his employees create weekly is a sales report. To ensure that the style is consistent from one document to the next, Michael has created a style guide which he stores in the style library.
This is the style document he created.

To apply a style to a particular section of his document, Michael does the following:
1       He highlights the text from the style guide that is in the desired style.
2       He chooses Format > Sample Current Style.
3       He highlights the desired text in the new document he is creating.
4       He chooses Format > Use Sampled Style.
He repeats these steps for each section of the document until it is fully formatted.
