| How to Use Styles > Working with Style Properties > Anonymous Style Inheritance > Example 1 - Inheriting from Containing Splits |
Since the default values of all built-in styles are in effect, columns inherit from their containing splits, which in turn inherit from the list as a whole. Therefore, this statement affects not only data cells, but all headers, footers, and caption bars. This statement has the same visual effect as changing the Normal style directly using the Style Collection Editor; however, the built-in Normal style itself is not changed.

The following code inherits values from the containing splits:
