MathType also has User 1 and User 2 styles. The styles available in MathType are Text, Function, Variable, Lower-case Greek, Upper-case Greek, Symbol, Vector-Matrix, Number, and Extra Math.
Also, by changing the definition of a style, you can quickly change the appearance of all the characters that use it. Styles save you from having to worry about fonts and character styles separately, and hence speed up your work and help you maintain consistency in your equations. Each one is defined as a combination of a font and character style (e.g., Times/bold/italic or Symbol/bold). MathType's styles are somewhat analogous to text styles in word processing and page layout applications. Each character in a MathType equation is either directly assigned a specific font and character style, or is assigned one of eleven MathType styles.
