You already know two ways to specify type-with individual commands from the Format and
Text menus and with the Type Specs command. Now you'll learn a third way, using
stylesheets.
A stylesheet is a set of type specifications that you name and store as part of a
document. Once you create a stylesheet, you can use it to format text. Then if you change
the stylesheet, all the text you formatted with that stylesheet is updated automatically
to match the new specifications. By using stylesheets in this way, you ensure that all the
text elements in your pages match the latest version of your type specs.
Stylesheets are also useful for maintaining consistent type specs across a number of
documents. You can import stylesheets from other documents in much the same way as you
import glossaries.
The Bulletin Templates document from which you imported an object glossary also contains a
number of stylesheets. One of those stylesheets contains the specifications for the text
that you typed on the left master page.
