The Word application supports having a flow of styles from paragraph to paragraph.  For example, if you have two consecutive paragraphs with a border and the same style, the application renders the border around both.  In part, that's run through the NextStyle capability which tracks what the next style of a given paragraph should be.

As stands, Style.m_nextStyle is a protected field that indicates what the next style to be taken is, but shy of deriving your own style class, there's no access to read or set it as a style author.   

I propose a set of methods similar to ApplyBaseStyle() that would allow you to set this already existing field.  

Also propose that as you add paragraphs, the system check the style of the prior paragraph and apply the "next style" for that to the newly created paragraph.
