This resource is a great quick guide to understand the importance of using styles and find additional resources for creating styles in a document. Some of these websites listed in the guide need to be updated as they lead to an error page and are "not found". The links for Word Training and Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word are still available and provide a large amount of information.

It took me several years of struggling with the heavy door to my building, sometimes having to wait until a person stronger came along, to realize that the door was an accessibility problem, not only for me, but for others as well. And I did not notice, until one of my students pointed it out, that the lack of signs that could be read from a distance at my university forced people with mobility impairments to expend a lot of energy unnecessarily, searching for rooms and offices. Although I have encountered this difficulty myself on days when walking was exhausting to me, I interpreted it, automatically, as a problem arising from my illness (as I did with the door), rather than as a problem arising from the built environment having been created for too narrow a range of people and situations.
