Susanne, I agreed with you when I first used W2007 because I use templates
and the styles pane. But always thought quick styles would be a good way to
show users the styles to use. And sure enough, most questions have come from
people who are developing templates for other users. Although Word
developers need to learn and be comfortable with the concepts of document
defaults, style set templates, manage styles, and recommend, their users can
benefit from having customized quick styles and style sets available. I
don't yet have a business need for them, and most of my initial knowledge was
"book learnin' ". Fortunately, the questions of those who do, prompted me to
learn more about them and put them to personal use.

To add to what Pam has said, someone recently commented here that anyone
with a good understanding of how to use styles needn't bother with quick
styles and style sets. I would like to endorse that view since I am as much
at sea about QS and SS as you are. I think I sort of understand the concept,
but I can't envision ever needing to use the functionality myself.
One of the chief frustrations of quick styles is that, in order to
substitute user-defined styles for any of the quick styles that appear at
the top of the gallery, one must work through resetting the priority order
of the relevant styles, both built-in and user-defined, to promote the
latter.
