Remarks
By default, a new shape inherits all its formatting from the document's default styles. However, if the Gesture Format sheet contains local formatting, that formatting is applied to the new shape. Use the FillStyle, LineStyle, and TextStyle properties to apply local formatting to the Gesture Format Shape object.
Gesture Format sheet formatting does not apply to instances of masters, connectors, pasted objects, or embedded objects.
A document's Gesture Format sheet is cleared automatically when a document is opened.
If a user makes changes to any shape using shape formatting commands on the menus and toolbars, but no shapes are currently selected, this formatting is stored in the gesture format sheet and applied to new shapes the user draws.
