I don't believe there is a particular reason for this. No else has pointed
it out as a problem before. What does MS Word do a default? We should copy
that.

It is very easy to define new Styles. We can make as many as are needed.
That reminds me, about 3 months ago Owen Stenseth said he was interested
in developing a styles dialog. Owen's the author of the perl script lists
the translations needed.
I wonder if Owen can give us an update on his progress on the Styles
dialog? With the great Lists infrastructure we have in place it would be
pretty easy to Auto number sections now. We should have a style to do
this.
Cheers!
