Character Styles/Paragraph Styles in Cs5?

I was under the impression that Photoshop CS5 included new Character Style and Paragraph Style panels, but they are not listed under the Windows menu (as was displayed in a tutorial I was watching). I purchased the extended version of the Creative Suite at the Education discount... I doubt they'd remove this feature (if it exists) for students, but who knows.
Anyone else know anything about this?!?
The student version is the full version; the only difference is price. There is no Paragraph Style panel or Character Style panel in any version Photoshop. You either misremembered the demo or are confusing InDesign with Illustrator or InDesign.
Not quite a "style" palette, but you can set a Tool Preset (upper left of options bar) to a style you want to re-use. I have a couple basic ones in there.
Type a line of text and style it how you want with the text tool. Then, in that Tool Preset dropdown, hit New Tool Preset (this would be a text preset, in the same list as other tool presets). After you have a couple in there, the next time you want a certain text style, you click the preset name, THEN start typing.
Again, not really a real text-style machine, but it saves you scrolling huge font lists and re-tracking and re-coloring and etc.
Hi,
Those features were under development, but had to be cut very late in the cycle. It sounds like some tutorials may have missed the 11th hour cutting. Sorry for any confusion.
Your Educational version has the same feature set as a Retail version.
