Not sure if it's related, but I noticed a week or so ago that there 
seems to be something slightly odd in the font sizes for the default 
heading style definitions...

- Heading : size = 14 pt
  - Heading 1 : size = 130% (relative to parent style Heading)
  - Heading 2 : size = 115% (relative to parent style Heading)
  - Heading 3 : size = 14pt (fixed)
  - Heading 4 : size = 95%  (relative to parent style Heading)
  ...

So changing the size for the Heading style also flows through to the 
other Heading X styles proportionately - except Heading 3 which is fixed 
at 14pt. I think the intention is for that to be 100% relative to the 
parent style.

I've also found that attempting to explicitly set a style to 100% font 
size actually has the effect of fixing it at the parent style's current 
value at the time this setting is applied, rather than inheriting the 
value from the parent. So that is possibly what someone has done in 
defining the default Heading 3 style.

This is in 4.3.0. Will check in 4.3.1 and search for / report a bug when 
I get a tuit of the circular variety...

Mark.
