I see. So when applying a style does *not* display any text effects,
it would be an indication to users that "I'm allowed to use this
style" and to template designers that "the setup of this style is
completed". A good idea! Thanks for explaining, Robert.

That's the idea!

It doesn't only tell the user that a given paragraph hasn't been
correctly assigned yet, but it does also tell the template creator
that
a given style hasn't been correctly setup. :-)

I base some styles on Body Text instead of Normal so that I have 2
or 3
style "branches".
