Summary
Would you like to simplify the way you format content? Create a document to act as a style guide, containing formatting that you can apply to your content. 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, or separately as needed.
Example
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. He stores the style guides in this library in a Style Library 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 Sales reports style guide.
This is the style guide he created.
To apply a style to a particular section of the sales report, Michael's employees do the following:
1 Select the text from the style guide that is in the desired style.
2 Choose Format > Sample Current Style.
3 Select the desired text in the new document.
4 Choose Format > Use Sampled Style.
They repeat these steps for each section of the document until it is fully formatted.
