It is possible, for example, define how the pages for the table of content will look like, or the pages for the body of the document, for the appendixes... and it is possible to define/modify those characteristics without disturbing the other styles.
Page styles are of high importance on Writer: the page format cannot be done with direct formatting, only through the use of styles.
