ClarisImpact: Beep When Applying Element Styles

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
Question:
When I try to apply an Element Style to an Element in some Models, ClarisImpact just beeps at me. Why?

Answer:
Not all Element Styles can be applied to every Element in every Model. ClarisImpact indicates that this Element Style is not applicable to the selected Element by beeping at you. For example, it is not possible to apply a gradient element such as the "Blue-coral gradient" Element Style to the background of a Chart Model.
