I want to be able to manipulate the style object. Does anyone know
where I can find out what the style data consists of and how I can
use it?


Here are some links:

taTypes/STElement.html>

taTypes/ScrpSTElement.html>

The styl you posted above can basically be broken up like this:

styl 0001 00000000 000F 000B 0003 0100 000B 0000 0000 0000

0001 2 byte count of style-runs in the text

00000000 4 byte offset, (0-based), of this style in the text
000F 2 byte font height, (in this case, 15)
000B 2 byte font ascent, (11)
0003 2 byte font id number, (3). On most Macs: Geneva
0100 2 byte bitmap. The high-byte specifies bold, italic, etc

Thanks Arthur, I'll just point out that the STElement document at the link above says that the low-order byte contains the character style. The high-order byte is used to store the style run direction. Left to right (0) or right to left (1).
000B 2 byte font point size, (11)
0000 2 byte red of RGB color
0000 2 byte green of RGB color
0000 2 byte blue of RGB color
