I am in love with Styles and Formatting in Microsquash Orifice

Almost every document that I've created in Word (within the last few months) has had different styles and a table of contents.

Unfortunately, I just need to learn how to use it better - still doing too much manual fudging. I want to be the Styles and Formatting masta. I want to be able to just select text so it'll format it exactly the way that I want it. How much space before, after, what font, what style, what size.

One day the power will be mine... Speak to me Billy. Tell me how to master the power.
