I am working on creating Excel workbooks in XML, by way of XMLSS, and I've found myself stuck in one particular place.
According to the documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140066(office.10).aspx#odc_xmlss_ss:style, the <ss:Style /> tag has an available property, ss:Parent, which allows the given style to inherit the attributes of a previously defined style. However, I am having a terrible time getting this to work.
I receive no errors whatsoever when I open the workbook, and the child style's attributes are applied properly, but none of the attributes from the parent style carry over.
As XMLSS is not very well documented outside of the MSDN docs, I come to the StackOverflow crowd for help. Are there any caveats to using the ss:Parent poperty within the <ss:Style /> elements?
