The style list window lists available styles for you to
apply to elements in your presentation. To dock the Style
List window, you can drag the title bar to the left or
to the right side of the workspace. To undock the Style
List window, press Ctrl, and then double-click a free space
in the Style List window, or directly drag it
out. The window can be docked or can float and be placed where you
want it.
You can create, edit, and apply graphics styles, but you
can only edit presentation styles. When you edit a style, the changes
are automatically applied to all of the elements formatted with this
style in your document. If you want to ensure that the styles on a
specific slide are not updated, create a new master slide for that
slide.
