Hi Samuel,

This is not true.
Nearly all styles inherit from Default Style.
And much less do so from Text Body.

I support the idea to have people use text Body in stead of Default 
Style ....
However, people are used taking Default (Style), will get confused.
Also a clean new document and many existing documents (and other 
applications) show Default Style...

Technically however: as a style is used in the document, it is shown in 
the list Apply Style.
So removing Default Style will only be possible if you change the 
default New document :-)

Thus: when we remove Default Style from the list by default, and change 
the default 'template' so that it shows Text Body for the single 
paragraph, we only confuse people ;-)

What do others think?

(For the rest (title, sorting) kudoos ;-) )

Cheers,
