Thank you for your reply.

Linked €“ dont really understand this. You say with a linked style,
generally only the font formatting is applied. But Heading 1, 2, 3 etc and
Title, for example, are listed as linked styles and they apply both paragraph
and font formatting as I understand things ??

Priority €“ this seems more straightforward. Is it possible to change the
style priority €“ and to set a priority when a new style is created?

A linked style is a hybrid of a paragraph style and a character style. When
you select part of the text in a paragraph and apply a linked style,
generally only the font formatting from the linked style is applied. This is
particularly useful for applying heading styles to the beginning text in a
paragraph; not only the formatting settings from the heading style are
applied to the selected text but also the outline level paragraph formatting
setting. The text formatted in this way may then be included in a table of
contents, etc.

The priority value determines where a style included in the Quick Style list
(part of the definition of a style) is displayed in the Quick Style gallery
on the Home tab, in the Styles group (see the Recommend tab of the Manage
Styles dialog box -- Home tab, Styles group, Styles Dialog Box Launcher
(arrow), Manage Styles button for settings). Quick Styles with the priority
value 1 are displayed before those with priority value 2, etc. Those with the
same priority value are displayed in alphabetical order.

What does linked style and priority number mean?
For example, in the Normal template, Heading 1 has a part of its definition:
Style: Linked, Quick Style, Priority: 10
