FORMAT APPLY STYLE
 
Procedures: <Applying styles to your document>
 
Use the Format Apply Style command to apply
<styles> to the <active> document.
 
■ The standard formatting for a Word document is
  determined by the <default> style sheet,
  NORMAL.STY. To apply styles from another style
  sheet, the <style sheet> must be attached to
  the document. Use the Format Attach Style Sheet
  command to attach a style sheet.
 
■ The quickest way to apply a style is to use a
  <key code>. Key codes are optional; if a
  style has a key code, the key code is shown in
  parentheses next to the style I.D. in the Apply
  Style dialog box. You can also apply styles
  with the Format Apply Style command or the
  Style box on the <ribbon>.
 
■ Formatting applied with the Format commands or
  the <speed formatting keys> overrides style
  formatting. If you want to apply a style to
  text that has been manually formatted, select
  the text, remove the formatting, and then apply
  the style.
 
■ Use the <style bar> to identify applied
  styles.
