Word 11 element formatting

Hi,

I cannot discover how to map an element to a style in Word 11 so that the
style will be automatically be applied when I create new element instances.
I know that I can have elements styled when opening an existing XML
document, but this does not help when editing such a document, or when
creating a new document. Is there a feature I am missing here? Or, if not,
does anyhone know if some kind of map-tag-to-style feature will be added to
the final release?

Neil.
