If you simply changed the text attributes with the font and paragraph tools, Word will think it's just basic body text.
Another reason to use styles is that you can easily change the font of an entire section. For instance, let's say you originally applied a 14pt Calibri, bold-faced font to all of your chapter headings, but you'd rather have a 14pt Calibri Italics.
