The most difficult word processing topic for students is mastering style sheets. Below are a couple of activities that help students develop and understanding of these concepts. Once they understand the concept, they are more easily able to master the steps required to create and make effective use of style sheets.

To assist students in conceptualizing how to use style sheets the authors frequently present a formatted document and ask students to indicate how many styles are needed to format the document.

The authors also use an activity that helps students understand base styles. This activity can be done with the whole class or with small groups.
