Documents created using styles are well organized, consistent and are easy to navigate. They can produce automatic tables of contents, cross-references and instantly numbered paragraphs. If you don't use styles, your documents can be difficult to manage, harder to navigate and bloated in size. Also, automations such as automatic numbering, tables of contents or cross referencing are more difficult to achieve. Most crucial, these documents are more easily corrupted.
Styles are easy to use.
Instead of applying specific formatting to the text, simply apply the appropriate style to each paragraph. If the paragraph is body text, apply Body Text style. If the paragraph is a heading, apply the appropriate level of heading style, such as Heading 1 or Heading 2. If you don't like the formatting the style provides, it's easy to change it throughout the document in just seconds.
