Some formatting objects like Font or ParagraphFormat support styles. A single built-in or user defined style is represented by a Style object that contains the corresponding style properties like name, base style, font and paragraph formatting of the style, and so on.

Furthermore, a Style object provides the StyleIdentifier property that returns a locale-independent style identifier represented by a StyleIdentifier enumeration value. The point is that the names of built-in styles in Microsoft Word are localized for different languages. Using a style identifier, you can find the correct style regardless of the document language. The enumeration values correspond to the Microsoft Word built-in styles such as Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. All user-defined styles are assigned the StyleIdentifier.User value.
