Hi Kim!

All of the books I have proofread were in normal style. When I launch Word without a document, it gives me normal style also, because normal is the default style.

I hope this information for Word 2003 will be helpful.  From Word's help:

Turn on or off automatic style definition
1. On the Tools menu, click
AutoCorrect Options
, and then click the
AutoFormat As You Type
 tab.
2. Under
Automatically as you type
, select or clear the
Define styles based on your formatting
 check box.
Notes
This option is off by default, and it is recommended for experienced style users
only.
This option determines whether Microsoft Word defines
styles (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) automatically, but it does not control whether Word updates a style that's already
been defined.

Here is a good article on Word 2003 styles from Microsoft Office Online.

Hi, I wish to understand book styles. Does it have to do with the look of
the text, i.e., font, paragraphing, line placement, etc.? I wish to know
what the most readable style Bookshare approves of. I know the book I'm
proofreading has a style number which makes no sense to me. Would anyone
care to enlighten me on this? I want to make sure that I know how to avoid
hassles in proofreading in future. As far as I know, there isn't a huge
disparity when one discusses Braille books. This is unknown country.
Regards, Kim.
