Remarks

Any shape to which a style is applied inherits the attributes defined for the style. The LineStyle, FillStyle, and TextStyle attributes of a Shape element apply styles to a shape.

While the elements listed above are all valid children of the StyleSheet element, in practice only the following elements are relevant: Char, Event, Fill, Group, Help, Image, LayerMem, Layout, Line, Misc, PageLayout, Para, Protection, RulerGrid, StyleProp, Tabs, and Textblock.

StyleSheet elements can inherit from other StyleSheet elements; however, circular references are not allowed.
