9 Styles (2 of 2) Why use styles? –They create consistency from page to page and designer to designer. –They make global text editing possible. –They save time. –They can be brought in and transferred out to other documents.

10 Summary A + sign appears when local formatting has been applied. Strip out local formatting by clicking Shift+ Option or Shift+Alt with the style.
