Hi :)
Styles rock!!! :))

I didn't know they could go that extreme and usually try to switch-off
the relative font-sizes because the idea freaks me out.  It feels like
everything goes outside of my direct control!  However that means i
would have to adjust each heading-level individually which now seems
really dumb.  If i have a case where i don't like the headings i could
just re-adjust just the one rather than always having to do them all!
lqtm.  I feel i've been being a bit of a moron tbh
Regards from
Tom :)

I just thought I'd share a neat feature I recently discovered in Writer.

The ability to set font sizes in styles as a percentage of the font size of a base style.

For example, I often set documents in an 11 point font such as Palatino. My headings are then at 
14 or 16 points. But, if I decide to switch to Times New Roman, I'll increase my base font to 12 
points. Then I have to go into my heading styles and increase them accordingly. But...

I've learned I can set my heading styles as a percentage of my base style. In the font size 
dialog box, rather than setting it at 14 points, I'll set it at  125%. Then, whenever I change 
the size of my base font, my heading styles automatically change based on the percentage. This 
technique saves a lot of effort when changing font sizes in a document.

The key is to know what style is used as the base style for the heading styles.
