Set Default Text Style for a Hole
Your template can specify the name of a default style to use to format Text and
Paragraph objects appended to a hole. If such an object does not specify a style name,
the DOM API sets its StyleName property to the name of the default style, which must
be a character or linked character and paragraph style defined in the template. Defining
a default hole style eliminates the need to format hole content programmatically.
