Actually one is, it's called "Help" (not the context help). These are the  
top three topics I get from typing in "Style" - "Apply a different style",  
"Troubleshoot styles", and "Create a new style" that last one has another  
link to "formatting text by using styles" which gives you a step-by-step  
guide as to what they are and how they work.
