The buttons in the Styles section are intended as a convenience for users and nothing more. They reflect various formatting styles that we've adopted internally and have been using in the content we've been putting together. They are not the "stock" formatting provided by the framework we use for the RW desktop client (i.e. DexExpress). Since we didn't want to distort the "stock" versions, we added new versions that do what we wanted for our own purposes. This allows our guys to avoid the manual fiddling (and error prone nature) of doing multiple steps by instead just clicking a singe button to get the desired effect.

So...

Of the paired red/blue buttons, the set on the left are the built-in versions that will parallel what users would expect if this is were Microsoft Word or something similar. The set on the right are tailored to our needs and have been used by our guys for quite some time. In fact, they have been present for probably a couple years or more.

The newly added button in green adds the indent behavior, as well. We found that our guys were doing the indent as a separate manual step in many cases. So we added a button to help them in the future.

These extra buttons are intended as a convenience for anyone who chooses to use them. There is absolutely NO requirement for anyone TO use them, as they are purely additive. They reflect some of the formatting behavior that we've standardized on internally, and we've made them available to everyone, just in case someone wishes to use them.

Hope this helps!
