Text Fill:
If you have a huge area of text you can click on the Red Plus sign and then click on the margin of the next page and fill the margin area with text.

Style Sheets:
Character Styles - Just the font settings
- have to highlight text and apply a style to it - it will over ride any paragraph style.
- have to have the text highlighted to apply the style.

Paragraph styles - contain character info and paragraph settings
- tabs
- indents
Only have to have the curser in the text box to apply a paragraph style

They made them separate becuase sometimes you need two character settings within a paragraph style.
