What is style?
Style is something that you, as a proofreader, will need to know all about. You could say that a proofreader's responsibilities are 50% content and 50% style. If the content is the words themselves, the style is the way they look, the way they interact, and the way they appear on the page. Pick up a book – any book – and you'll have in front of you an example of style. Flick through it, pick two pages at random, and you'll see that the content has changed but the style is the same.
