  Style sheet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Style sheets are a common feature in most popular desktop publishing and word processing programs, including Adobe InDesign, PageMaker, QuarkXPress and Microsoft Word, though they may be referred to using slightly different terminology.
Style sheets help publications maintain consistency, so common elements such as story text, headlines and bylines always appear the same.
Style sheets also help save time allowing a design to click once rather than having to apply each element one at a time and risking using an incorrect value.
