If you try promoting/demoting headings in Outline view, you'll find
that the default Heading x style is applied to the promoted or demoted
heading. You would then have to manually re-apply your custom
variation of the style.
That doesn't matter if you don't use Outline view in this way. I'm
just pointing this out as a potential drawback for anybody else who
does use Outline view extensively and who is thinking of building a
style hierarchy for their template. Remember that you have to consider
not only your own working style, but also that of any others who will
use the same template.
Regards
Jonathan
