# Style FAQ's
**Question:** How do content styles interact with a project?
**Answer:** Project Settings Administrators can define project templates in the Project Settings module in RocketDocs. Project templates can be associated with Project Types (workflows) to ensure that each workflow is using the correct formatting in their response. These templates should contain all or a subset of same styles (with the same definitions) as contained in the content and system settings. They can also contain things like a cover page, table of contents and disclosures.
Inline text responses get inserted into a project with the style selected when creating a project/uploading a project document and in LaunchPad settings.
Responses stored as attachments (Document Editor responses), get inserted with styles as defined in the response attachment.
In case of a conflict between a style definition in a response and project style templates, the style definition in the project template will take precedence. If a user is trying to insert a response using a style not found in the destination document, the response will get inserted, but the user will receive a pop up that the style selected was not found.
---
**Question:** If I upload my template in content settings, do I also need to add them to system settings?
**Answer:** No, the definitions in content settings are the most comprehensive and therefore trump system settings when there is a conflict.
The styles listed in system settings are defined in name only and when these styles are found in a destination (project) document they will adopt the formatting definitions from that document.
The best practice is to store styles in one place, content settings or system settings, only and not in both. If styles are stored in both places, it can create unruly and unnecessarily long style lists. Once you have uploaded a style template in content settings, you can simply delete the styles listed in system settings.
---
**Question:** What are some best practices for building a content style template for RocketDocs use?
**Answer:**
- Ensure that all styles you would like to be used in creating content and proposals are included in the content style template.
- Built in styles have standard names but can vary in definitions from user to user which can cause style conflicts. This is why we recommend using custom styles, with custom names like CompanyName disclaimer, !CompanyName Table Body Left Align, and !CompanyName Bullet level one. Using this approach you eliminate the risk of your document changing when opened by another user.
- Ensure that your custom styles are explicitly defined and are not based on normal or default values (which can change depending on settings of the user opening the file).

**Question:** What are the two types of styles?
**Answer:**
1. Word’s built-in style are the styles that come with Microsoft Office, out of the box, like Normal, Body Text and the Headings 1, 2, and 3, etc.
2. Custom styles are styles that are created and customized by a user or an organization to align with their brand guidelines.
---
**Question:** Where do the styles in the style drop down in the Document Editor come from?
**Answer:** Styles in the Document Editor style drop down include built in styles of the Document Editor, styles defined in RocketDocs Content Settings, any styles named in RocketDocs System Settings, and any additional styles included in the response document that are not already included in the Document Editor, Content Settings or System Settings.
---
**Question:** Where do the styles in the style drop down in the LaunchPad come from?
**Answer:** Styles in the LaunchPad style drop down include built in Word styles, styles defined in RocketDocs Content Settings, and any styles named in RocketDocs System Settings.
---
**Question:** What are Styles?
**Answer:** Styles are combinations of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text to quickly change its appearance. For example, applying the Heading 1 style might make text bold, Arial, blue and 16 point, and applying the Heading 2 style makes text bold, italic, Arial, red and 14 point.
---
**Question:** What are the two response types in RocketDocs?
**Answer:**
1. Plain text responses are stored in the Plain Text Response box on the Content Details page.
2. Rich Text responses are stored as attachments and in the case of Word based responses, can be viewed and edited in the Document Editor. These responses can have more complex formatting like multiple levels of styles, headings, bullets, numbering, tables, and graphics.
---
**Question:** Does the Document Editor have its own Default or Normal?
**Answer:** Yes, the Default or Normal in the Document Editor is always Calibri 11. This will not get updated to reflect your preferences from the template uploaded in Content Settings.
---
**Question:** I have created a content style template, now what?
**Answer:** Content Settings Administrators can upload content style templates to the Style Templates section in Content Settings. Saving the template here will ensure that both style names and definitions are available in the Document Editor and in the LaunchPad. Once you have uploaded the Style Template, click Save and Apply Style Template.
