Remarks

The ActiveWritingStyle property is intended to be used with the following parameter.

Parameter	Description
`LanguageID`	One of the WdLanguageID values that specifies the language to set the writing style for in the specified document.

If you use the ActiveWritingStyle property without specifying a parameter, it returns a Document_ActiveWritingStyleType object that is is not intended to be used directly from your code.
