Styles
Creating
a New Style
We can
also create styles of our own. There are two methods for creating
styles: use the Style dialog box under the Format menu, or
take a piece of text, make the necessary formatting changes,
and save those changes as a style. This is the Style dialog
box under the Format menu.

You
can use the New... button at the bottom to create either a
character style (fonts, font sizes, bold, italic, etc.), a
paragraph style (alignment, indents, line spacing, etc.),
or a combination of both.

You would
then use the Format button at the bottom of the dialog box
to make your needed changes.
An alternative
(and faster way) to create your new style is this: highlight
a piece of text, make the formatting changes the way you wish,
then click on the Style button and type in a new style name.
For example, we'll take the Midwest Region heading and make
it Verdana Font, 16 point, bold, and green.

We can
now highlight the Midwest Region title, click on the Style
button and type in the new name of the style. (You can also
use [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[S] on your keyboard.) We'll call the new
style mysubheading.
