(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3)

Main motivation for OP is to make it easier (in help and tooltip) to explain
the operation of the "button".

Not expecting a "self-contained" solution (i.e., completely transparent / 
understandable w/o explanation), but still believe that improvements can be
made to facilitate comprehension.

> "Level 1 [Contents 1]"). 
For TOC, it is Contents.  For other indices, other PS are used (e.g., for
User-defined:  "User Index N" ; for Alphabetical:  "Index N" ; ...)

But if "default" ( = factory setting) as you say, then "default" gives an
affordance (for TOC) for "Content X", not "default PS".  From that perspective,
the tooltip is misleading, because the current action of the button does not
revert to "default setting" -- but to "default paragraph style"!

Another (acceptable for me) solution is to remove the "Default" button.

Reasons:

1.  Default Paragraph Style is always shown as an option for assignment for all
indices -- so if a user wanted this PS, it could be assigned, with the
advantage that this assignment is shown explicitly in the UI, not simply blank.

2. No additional functionality or advantage is achieved (at present) with the
"Default" button. (plus it creates an ambiguity when the left column is blank).

3. Simplifies the UI.

Still think the best (most user-friendly) would be for Default to reset to
"factory setting", otherwise "no button" seems better than current
implementation (no matter what the button is called or how it appears).

"User-friendly": because it is a one-step operation to reset a customised PS on
the left side --  versus the current situation where it is necessary to first
find and select the right PS on the right side (e.g., among 10 "Contents N" and
make sure it matches the correct level on the left), and then a second action
of clicking the "<" assign button.


And while we are looking at this dialog --  maybe the "Assign" button should be
moved down to the middle between the Levels and PS columns?  No consequences
for documentation, so I could file another ticket if this seems appropriate.
