The process described in the last two sentences is incomplete, as the document would

writer would also need to change the format of the page numbers in the introduction

The text refers to the Formatting Palette, which is not shown in figure 4-4. Rather,
the figure shows the Modify Style dialog box, which you get when you click on the
little triangle and then select Modify Style from the pop-up menu..

Readers should also be told that the little triangle next to a style's name does not
appear until you hover the cursor over the style name in the Formatting Palette.
