Word styles
Word styles are named, reusable formatting definitions in Microsoft Word (such as Normal, Heading 1, Title, or List Paragraph) that bundle font, size, color, spacing, and alignment settings. Applying a style formats text consistently in one click, and updating the style updates every paragraph that uses it.
In Microsoft Word, a style is a saved package of formatting attributes — font family and size, bold/italic, text color, line and paragraph spacing, indentation, and alignment — stored under a name like Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, Title, Subtitle, Quote, or List Paragraph. Instead of manually setting each property on every paragraph, you apply a style and Word formats the text to match. The real power is consistency and control: because all paragraphs of the same style share one definition, editing that definition instantly reformats every instance, and features like the Navigation pane, automatic tables of contents, and cross-references all rely on styles being applied correctly. Documents built by copy-pasting from many sources often accumulate direct (manual) formatting that overrides styles, which is why they look uneven. Veermat works at the style level — it detects headings and body text and re-applies clean, consistent styles across the whole .docx so the document holds together and remains editable in Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice.
