Aaron, we might not be on the same page. I don't think you should create a
"blank" style, but instead create one for each style that's possible. Right
from inside ID select the text with a certain style, go to the Character
Style palette and choose New Style from the triangle menu. This will create
a style based on the currently selected text. Do this for each style that
you use. Then apply these styles to each cell as needed. You can select
entire rows/columns and apply styles if you need to. Then if for some reason
you need to change the style to can just go into the Document's CharStyles
object and change the style as needed or possibly just do it from right
inside ID. While I don't know exactly what you're trying to do I think using
ID's native interface might be easier for this job. Let me know if were on
the same page or not.
