Word Styles Section

This section contains data about the styles used, both internal default styles and user-defined ones. It consists of the following parts:

 Word Normal Style

 Word Style Hotkeys

 Word Other Styles

 Word Style Trailer

Normal Style

The normal style definition is special. All other styles are based upon it (though there seem to be hooks to allow other base styles). It is structered as follows:

 Data       Description

 Paragraph Layout List  Style layout: paragraph codes part

 Character Layout List  Style layout: character codes part

 L        Hotkey

The hotkey contains an ASCII character encoded in a long. That means that all but the first byte of the long always equal 00.

Hotkeys

Now follow all the hotkeys used to call up the styles quickly. This is a BListL of hotkeys. Each hotkey is an ASCII character encoded in a long. That means that all but the first byte of the long always equal 00.

The hotkeys are given in the same order as the styles in the Word Other Styles section. The amount of hotkeys given here and the amount of styles are always equal.

If no hotkey is defined for a style, a value of 00 00 00 00 is used instead.

Other Styles

This section contains the definitions of all styles, excluding the Normal style, which is defined in the Word Normal Style section.

The hotkeys are given in the same order as the hotkeys in the Word Style Hotkeys section. The amount of styles given here and the amount of hotkeys are always equal.

This is a BListE of the following elements:

 Data       Description

 String      Style name

   ID       Style kind ID
