Heading 2
style
is applied
Be careful when applying styles. In Microsoft Word, if a character or
word is selected, the style may be applied as a character style. Many of
the built-in styles can be either paragraph or character styles. However, a
new style can be defi to be only a paragraph or a character style. This fined
helps avoid accidentally applying the wrong type of style.
Microsoft Word 2016 also contains collections of styles called style
sets. A style set is a group of styles that have been designed to work
together visually. To see the available style sets, click the

button in
the gallery in the
Document Formatting
group in the
Design
tab of the
ribbon. Clicking a style set name in the gallery makes all of the styles
within the set available for use in the document.

style as a paragraph style to the line
