Is there something wrong with "Heading 2" ?
.... or ...
"Heading 2,h2,myname"
?
You can add names or shortcuts or abbreviations to the names of any of the
built-in styles by adding them, preceded by commas, in the Modify Style
dialog.

How about downloading and looking at the document I posted ? When you
do you will see that I *did use* Words built in Headings !
Then I don't understand why are you asking about how to _name_ them?
What happens when you use Words built in Heading Styles but need say a
space of 6 before, or say 6 before and 6 after, or just 6 after, etc ?
Use the built-in styles, but change them to your liking.
A good and pretty comprehensive primer which answer many of your
questions can be found at:
Creating a Template (Part II, by John McGhie)
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart2.htm
If you follow that while creating your template and subsequent document,
you won't have problems with stray formatting anymore, either.
Perhaps you can download the document like I asked and try again with
some advise that I can put to good use ?
Perhaps I can, but not anymore today (and not on a productive machine,
sorry -- you've heard about macro-viruses ;-)).

Please be more specific. How do I name Heading Styles and make Word
happy ?
Example:
How would I name a Heading 2 Style that has a space of 6 before and 6
after so that Word is happy and doesn't change the name? What do you
suggest I base this Heading 2 Style on and what should I use for the
following paragraph when the following paragraphs are different thru
out the document ?
Perhaps I can, but not anymore today (and not on a productive machine,
sorry -- you've heard about macro-viruses ;-)).
Is it my imagination or are Microsoft users very fearful of the
applications that Microsoft makes ?
I gotta tell you I'm not very impressed with MS Word so far for long
documents and desktop publishing.
