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?
