Some Headings 2 in Chap 18 had different fonts too, which I reset to style's default.

The issue is triggered by the speed the software is adding features and have its user interface changed. Just for example, the MUFFIN or "Notebook" bar will invalidate most of the images and contents we describe in all guides. How to deal with such enormous task? We need a better documenting process, capable of following the speed of LibreOffice improvements and changes. I'll open a thread for this theme next week.
