<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Initially a <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.Style.html">Style</a> object does not have any
explicitly set properties. This means that the effective
values of all ambient properties (such as font) are inherited from
the style of the containing object, while the effective values
of all non-ambient properties (such as borders) are inherited
from the style specified by this property.</p>
