About text styles
A text style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis. A style contains all text formatting information: font and font size, font color, indents, character and line spacing, tabs, and special formatting, such as numbered lists.
Once you've created a style, you can apply it in one step to a paragraph in either a text box or a table. The formatting changes affect the entire paragraph.
Microsoft Publisher also installs font schemes, which are pre-defined font groupings that help you to achieve a cohesive style and look to your publication.
