General Style Properties

General style properties refer to the set of properties which can be used regardless of the type of style.

example: : Within a style definition the style name, additional aliases for the style, a style ID (used by the document content to refer to the style), if style is hidden, if style is locked, etc. are general style properties.

example:

<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Heading1">
  <w:name w:val="heading 1"/>
  <w:basedOn w:val="Normal"/>
  <w:next w:val="Normal"/>
  <w:link w:val="Heading1Char"/>
  <w:priority w:val="1"/>
  <w:qformat/>
  <w:rsid w:val="00F303CE"/>
  ...
</w:style>

Above the formatting information specific to this style type are a set of general style properties which define information shared by all style types. ]
