    I would like to keep the first sentence, because it makes clear(er) that
    we are refering to styles a concept within the user interface rather
    than to formatting properties that very often are refered as styles as
    well. I would also like to keep the last sentence because it explains
    where the name "common" comes from. For that reason, I've change the
    paragraph to
    
    Most office applications support styles within their user interface.
    Within OpenOffice, the XML representations of such styles are referred
    to as styles. When a differentiation from the other types of styles is
    required, they are referred to as common styles. The term common
    indicates that this is the type of style that an office application user
    considers to be a style
    
    Is that okay for you?
