It is important to understand that conditional styles are applied at the paragraph level.
Each paragraph can have only one conditional style applied to it. If a paragraph does not
have a conditional style applied to it, it cannot be reformatted by a conditional style that
is applied to a different paragraph.
It is also important to understand that when you apply a conditional style to a sequence
of paragraphs, that conditional style affects only that series of paragraphs. If a conditional
style is applied to a series of paragraphs at the beginning of a story and to a series of
paragraphs at the end of the same story, they cannot affect one another, even if (for
example) the series at the beginning of the story includes a rule with an End of the Story
reference.
