Types of Styles in Microsoft Office Word

Types of Styles in Microsoft Office Word

Recently I had a research in Microsoft Office Word in Style formats and finally came up with Five basic style formats. These five different types of styles in Word includes paragraph, character, linked, table, and list, where each of them is for a different purpose.

• Character Style formats only characters and not used in paragraphs. Any formatting can be stuffed into a character style. 
• Paragraph Style contains any formatting done in paragraphs, indents, tabs, font, text size, attributes — as you name the style.  Even this paragraph style also includes Heading, Normal and so on formats.  The paragraph style formats all the standard paragraph or character formats, part of both, or just one aspect of either. 
• List Style is for presenting lists of information such as bullets, numbers, indentation, and other formats typical for the parts of a document that present lists. 
• Linked Style is a combination style that can be applied for both paragraphs and individual characters. The difference depends on which text is selected when apply the style for. 
• Table Style is applied to tables for adding lines and shading to the table cells contents.

The paragraph style is widely used in the Word document by most of us for heading and body text.
