The Excel object model (and its bugs) has nothing to do with what Excel does
internally. Two different things entirely.

I agree, seems to be a bug. I'm not sure how you would detect whether a
style has vertical alignment.

A related anomaly is, after doing this:

ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Orientation=xlVert ical

doing this has no effect:

ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Orientation=xlHori zontal

But if you interpose either of these:
ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Orientation=xlDown ward
ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Orientation=xlUpwa rd

then it does.
