	Office 2002 (or was it 2003... Whatever I had on my WinXP box) was, I
thought, rather easy to work styles in... Automatically shifting from
header to body text style on <enter>; Having first body paragraph after a
header use block format while subsequent paragraphs used indented format...

	Office 2010 and 2013 OTOH, with their "ribbon" interface taking up a
fifth of the usable screen, have made style control cryptic and hard to
adjust.
