I would appreciate it very much if anybody couod teach me how I can apply layer styles(in photoshop) to another object without affecting the others with the same layer styles like inner or outer shadow, emboss etc. I would like to apply a different style to another object but if I do the other layer style will follow too. Please help

I'm not quite sure I follow your question but If you're talking about applying a preexisting layer style to one layer and then to another but you only want one property (like a shadow) applied to the second layer, all you have to do is turn off the other properties.  On the layer that you want only a shadow, click the little arrow on the right of your layer in your layers palette window and you'll see an expansion of all the styles applied.  There will be an eye icon next to each style.  Click the eye to shut it off.

Or you can simply right click the layer and click 'blending options' to turn them off.  (these are for photoshop  7.0 and up.  I've never used anything older, so if you're using an older version, these instructions may not work.)

I'm seriously bad at trying to explain how to do things but I hope that helps.

thanks a lot . i just learned that in order not to affect tthe previous layers when adding a new shodow or bevel embossed layer style to a new layer is to unclick the global light. I am using the adobe CS .

yes and no.  Using the global light option only affects the light perspective for the layers.  If you want to add a shadow to appear to the bottom of one layer but want it appear under tops of all the other layers, then you would uncheck that option.  It doesn't actually add, remove or change the individual layer styles (bevels, shadows) that are actually applied to other layers, only the angle of the lighting.
