Uniword bundles 12 open-source stylesets that replace the proprietary Microsoft Quick Style Sets. Each styleset defines a complete set of paragraph, character, and table styles.

1. Using StyleSets

doc = Uniword::Document.new
doc.apply_styleset('distinctive')

The apply_styleset method applies all styles from the styleset definition to the document’s styles part.

2. StyleSet List

3. StyleSet Mapping

The mapping between Uniword names and Microsoft equivalents is defined in config/theme_mapping.yml. When a DOCX file references a Microsoft styleset, Uniword can detect and map it to the corresponding open-source styleset.

4. StyleSet Structure

Each styleset YAML file contains definitions for:

• Paragraph styles — Normal, headings (1-9), subtitle, title, and more

• Character styles — Default paragraph font, heading character styles

• Table styles — Default table formatting with theme-aware colors

All stylesets use the fonts and colors defined in the applied theme, ensuring visual consistency.
