In
word processing and
desktop publishing, a style sheet is a
file or form that defines the
layout of a
document. When you fill in a style sheet, you specify such
parameters as the
page size,
margins, and
fonts. Style sheets are useful because you can use the same style sheet for many documents. For example, you could define one style sheet for personal letters, another for official letters, and a third for reports.
Style sheets are also called templates.
