The setting here is not the default empty paragraph but the style for
following paragraph in the Heading style definition.

Thank you all again for your help. I did a find and replace to remove all
instances of "Normal." However, when I hit a carriage return after a
heading, it is back to Normal again. I am assuming the that the find and
replace should have changed the default empty paragraph.

I'd like to see Microsfot implement this feature at some point. Perhaps I
will express my views to them. The next verison of Office is something
like 1.5 years away. I bet they could get it in there by then.

To add to what Jean-Guy has said, you can accomplish the same thing in a
specific template that you can in Normal.dot: that is, you can format the
default empty paragraph as Body Text. But you'll still run into Normal in
some instances. For example, labels (created using the Tools | Envelopes
and
Labels command) and text boxes default to Normal style.
