Default styles renaming

But I can imagine that the option, when enabled, would also cause some
confusion.

BTW, if you want to use the built-in styles, but also prefer to use

your own
alias names, Word2007 has a new option to "Hide built-in name when

alternate
name exists".
Pretty nifty addition, I think! Especially for the heading styles,

which can
use more descriptive names in some documents/templates (say "Heading
Section", "Heading Chapter", "Heading Subchapter" instead of

"Heading 1",
"Heading 2", "Heading 3").

I wonder if you're choosing "Modify" instead of "New" in the style

dialog.
You should certainly be able to name the style anything you want.

FWIW, I
use the built-in Body Text and Body Text First Indent for these

purposes
(modified as required for specific templates).

I have my standard styles (Word 2000) that i know i will not be

able to
delete: Normal Default Paragraph Font Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading

.. .
.etc.

In my template, I want a certain paragraph style for the first

paragraph,
and a second style for paragraph 2 (with a first line indent),

for
example.

All okay. But I cannot rename them as Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2

in my
Style list, instead, the styles keep saying: Normal, Normal 1,

and
Normal,
Normal 2, or Normal, Normal paragraph 1 or something similar.

Very long
descriptions. And always seems attached to Normal, won't save my

new ones
that I make.

Is there any way, please, I can rename my styles so they don't

have these
very long descriptors like this? Or set up entirely new ones NOT

linked
to
the standard ones I can't delete? (In Quark, I can do this

easily.)
Thanks
for any help.
