A style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text, tables, and lists in your document to quickly change their appearance. Styles are used for creating a Table of Contents which is an overview of the topics discussed in a document.

Some common synonyms of contemporary are coeval, coincident, contemporaneous, simultaneous, and synchronous.

Some common synonyms of style are craze, fad, fashion, mode, rage, and vogue.

Style in literature is the literary element that describes the ways that the author uses words — the author’s word choice, sentence structure, figurative language, and sentence arrangement all work together to establish mood, images, and meaning in the text.

Features of style include the following: diction (word choice) • sentence structure and syntax • nature of figurative language • rhythm and component sounds • rhetorical patterns (e.g. narration, description, comparison-contrast, etc.)

The Normal style is defined with the following formats: Calibri font, 11 points tall, left-justified paragraphs, multiple line spacing at 1.08 lines, no indenting, zero margins, and 8 points of space after every paragraph.

The Styles advantage in Word

• Styles application means easy Table of Contents generation.
• Styles cascade and so when you make one change to a document you have made them all.
• Styles allow you to use Outline View.
• Restrict formatting changes.
• Templates are much more efficient and kinder to others if they’re based on styles.

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. Click the “Review” tab at the top of the page.
