STYLE :
A style is a set of logical formatting attributes. In other words, style is a set of
formats that can be applied to selected pages, text, frames, and other elements in a
document to quickly change their appearance. When we apply a style, we apply a whole
group of formats at the same time.

Modifying styles
We can modify both the predefined styles and custom styles.
There are two ways to modify a style.
• Updating a style from a selection
• Load or copy styles from another document or template
Any changes made a style are effective only in the current document. To change styles
in more than one document, you need to change the template or copy the styles into
the other documents
