Text Styles: Consistent Work Flow from Word Processor to Page Layout

Working with the Text Styles that are built into the software we already use, we can simplify and speed up the process of turning a manuscript into a completed book or document. This guide is aimed at writers, editors, and designers who work freelance or in small organizations that don't have the resources to acquire beginning-to-end publishing systems. Using text styles removes the ambiguity of the intentions of writers and content creators, and saves the people doing design and layout from guesswork.
