You can create your own custom class with properties to store your unique
data. Each instance of this custom class is an object that holds data. If
you have an array or dictionary or other structure of these, that's a data
structure.

For instance, you could have a class like this:

styleRunClass:
  font as string
  textColor as color
  startChar as integer
  length as integer
  text as string

A collection of these objects (in an array) could represent the contents
of your WYSIWYG word processor.

I'm writing a series on data structures for my beginning column in RBD so
I've got this stuff on the brain. ;-)
