Introduction to Style Sheets:
As you may have read in the previous section, a "style" is a specific format applied to either a small or large sample of text, over the range of one or many documents. You can use (or even create) a "style" that you can apply throughout your document (or multiple documents!) to any variety of text to keep a common look and feel throughout your pages. These are called "Cascading Style Sheets." The wonderful thing about CSS is that the formatting of specific things on a web page can be controlled through a style sheet. These sheets can be edited, and changes in the style sheet will automatically appear on the web page elements that have styles applied to them. This is the perfect solution for those working with large amounts of pages they would like to keep consistent in style.

To view the available style sheets, go to “Text” on the menu bar and select “CSS Styles” to view the CSS options.

From here, you can choose to make a new CSS style (it will automatically ask you to save it in a new style sheet), edit a previously existing style sheet, or attach a style sheet to a page.

You are free to apply, as necessary and appropriate, styles to your document. However, it is in no way necessary if you are creating small pages that are easy to format on their own. This is more of an advanced feature that may be helpful to learn for future web projects.
