Multiple settings. If multiple objects are selected and they have different line styles assigned to them, PageMaker returns -2 for cStyleIndex. If the reverse settings do not match, PageMaker returns 0 (zero) for bReverse.

Default settings. If the text tool or story editor is active, or if no PageMaker-drawn objects are selected, PageMaker gets the publication default line style.

To change line style information, use the PLineStyle command class.
