Once a style has been applied to text, can you still change the formatting of this text?

Once a style has been applied to text, you can still change the formatting of that text without losing the benefits of the applied style. Styles in word processing software are designed to provide a consistent look and feel to documents, but they do not prevent you from manually adjusting the formatting after the style has been applied. This allows for flexibility; users can still modify aspects like font size, color, and even apply additional formatting features while retaining the underlying style for other attributes.

In practice, this means that if you apply a heading style to a title, you can later change the color or size of that heading and still keep the formatting characteristics associated with the style, like font type or line spacing. This adaptability is one of the strengths of using styles in word processing.
