Forget all this "styles" nonsense--let somebody else format the pages for publication in a magazine or book! As someone earlier in this thread pointed out, a lot of what's written on a computer is not going to be printed on paper at all! Just write your document in a nice readable font, like Times-Roman, in a readable size, like 12-point, or even 14-point, leave a space between paragraphs, and be done with it! Just my 2ยข!
