Re: styles
This is the general explanation of Slide Styles given in the Help file of Proshow Producer 4.0:
Hope this helps a little.
If you have some more questions, please don't hesitate to ask again.
Slide Styles: Slide Styles are pre-made effects that you can apply to any slide in your show. ProShow Gold/ Producer is loaded with over 30 must-have Slide Styles that instantly create impressive special effects from the contents of your slides. Just drop in your images, add a Slide Style and the rest is done for you. Slick, professional-looking effects in an instant. You can also create and re-use your own Slide Styles for truly customized results.
Slide Styles
Slide Styles allow you to quickly create entire slides with a few clicks of the mouse. You can use slide styles created by Photodex, styles created by other ProShow users, or your own styles that you have created and saved. A slide style contains all of the following information:
Position, Motion, Effects, Editing, Timing, Audio
In essence, a slide style is a complete slide that only requires you to add layers and apply the style.
To Apply Slide Styles:
Select a slide you want to add a style to.
Click Slide > Slide > Slide Styles from the Main Menubar.
Select a style from the Slide Styles list.
Click Apply.
You can also import, create, and manage additional slide styles.
Create opens the Create Slide Style dialog window, which allows you to create a new slide style based on the current slide composition.
Manage Styles opens the Manage Slide Styles window.
Manage Slide Styles
With the management tool, you can do the following:
Add new slide styles to your list, from your hard drive.
Remove styles you no longer want to use.
Export styles to share with others.
If you want to remove slide styles at any time, click on Reset Slide.
Hope this helps a little.

Re: styles
Styles are kind of like in M$ Word: you add the material and attach a style to it.
In Producer it's similar, you add the images you want for that slide (the material), go to the Styles menu (Slide Options-Slides, select the Styles tab.).
Then, you select the style you want to use from under the Slide Styles section of the dialog. Finally, Apply that style ... and answer YES when PSP asks you if you're sure you want to do that).
Key tho is that you've got to populate that slide with the images you want that style to use.
EMPTY LAYER to which you've APPLIED A STYLE
Now, let's say you added a blank slide for some reason and made it the active slide. Then, you went to the slide styles section and applied a style to that blank slide. Well, you'd have everything you need for the style to work except your images. So, what you can do in that circumstance is drag an image from the thumbnails area into an existing (but blank/unpopulated) layer. All layers that are the same image will then populate. You then just finish dragging and dropping images onto any remaining blank (unpopulated) layers until no empty layer remains.
Sounds kinda complicated but you get the gist of it real quick after doing it a time or two!
Good luck!

Re: styles
I am going to give you the styles for Dummies version that I learned from, LOL. One easy step may be to double click on the image or images that you wish to enhance. Next you can go up to where it says layers and click on the down arrow for Layers. You will see only the layer highlighted that you may use with your image or images that you clicked on, whether it is 1 through 13 images or so. Once you find and click on the one that you like, you can see just how it will look in the upper left corner. Once you have the style that you wish to use, click on Apply, then OK, and you are done. Keep doing that for each and every image that you wish to enhance. Once you have learned the easy version, you will find other different ways for doing it, but I hope that this will at least get you started so that you can see just how they work.

Re: styles
In the Slide Options-Slide-Slide styles tab is the window section called "Slide Styles." Right under that title bar are three small dropdown menu boxes.
The first one is the category of styles. All styles associated with that category will be listed in the window below it.
The middle one is for the slide ratio for which the style is developed (or for use in). You select the ratio you want to see (4:3, 16:9, custom, all).
The one on the far right is the one Photobob is referring to.
It's this box that'll look at the slide where you have all of your images and will select only those styles that use the setting you select (match the number of layers in your slide, select styles using x number of layers (where x is 0 to >5 layers, you identify the number of layers the style needs to use and only those styles needing that number of layers will be listed), or styles of any number of layers).
