As I understand matters, there are some functions that work better with 
default styles instead of custom styles.

For example, I was writing a small book and set up a whole host of 
heading styles using names that followed the LaTeX conventions, 
"Chapter" "Chapter*" "Section" "Section*" etc. Then, I tried using the 
Elaix extension to convert the file to Epub format. Well, it didn't like 
my style names and, instead, wanted "Heading 1" "Heading 2" "Heading 3" 
etc. Also, I understand that, when modifying existing text with 
Autocorrect, it doesn't correct text in custom styles.

After spending hours creating my own templates and styles, I've learned 
its better to modify LO's styles rather to creating my own.
