Styles and Templates
Styles are saved in the document template. When you create adocument based on a speciﬁc template, you also receive the customstyles deﬁned for that template. Every document you create is basedon a template. Even if you don’t select a speciﬁc template, your wordprocessor will use its default template to create your document.
