"Tip" at the top of the page, line 3.

The tip asserts that exporting styles from an internal style sheet to an external one is "described on page 115", but page 115 says nothing about that export operation. Perhaps the reference should be to page 324, which explains how to move styles between two style sheets, including the case in which the source style sheet is internal.

Note from the Author or Editor:
change "described on page 115" to "described on page 326"
