Paragraph styles in Pages make it easier to easily and consitently apply font styling and formatting in your documents. When you use styles from the start, you can apply them to all parts of your document and easily make changes throughout.
Alan: Yes. Creating a template with the styles would be the way to do it.

Gary, can I ask whether it is possible to use Styles to include automated report heading numbering. I am trying to use Pages more and more but have not yet found a way to create a report style document with automatic heading numbering. Thank you for your help
Ian: Do you mean like having Headings that start 2.1, 4.3.5 and such? You could set each one up as a numbered list, even though it is one line. Then use “Continue from previous” to have the numbers increase with each line that is a heading. For small documents it would be easier to number them manually. But for long documents if you are adding sections and want the numbers to all update automatically, it could be useful.

Another excellent video. Do you have a favourite Lorem Ipsum generator?
Peter: LittleIpsum in the Mac App store.

Many thanks. Great and helpful video.
Great explanation of styles. If I want to use my newly created styles in several documents, presumably I have to save one document as a template?
Alan: Yes. Creating a template with the styles would be the way to do it.
