This is not a 7.6.2 but I have just noticed that wf .STY files cannot reside as read only files because when a report is executed from dev studio, part of that execution process is to reformat the stylesheet.

If you put all the style elements on one line wf reformats to its own style. If you try to put dm in there, then dm is removed. None of this behaviour is documented and it is nothing like what you would expect and perhaps is an unneccessary overhead.

We are going to be switching to -INCLUDED fexes with styling options in them to avoid this strange behaviour.

As in the X-FILES there is an explanation to all "unidentified flying features" so I'm wondering if anyone out there knows what purpose this serves?

I have never used .STY precisely because they are not flexible, I put the WF styling in -INCLUDEs instead.

Since they're not Focexecs, I wouldn't assume Dialogue Manager would work inside them.
