Derek, I take your point, but there is something that does seem counter-intuitive to me about how OO handles styles.

What would be intuitive to me would be that the latest change overrides earlier changes, whether the latest change is universal or local. In other words, if I set a style that says all Level 3 rows are Italic, then setting a local style on one particular Level 3 row - bolding one word, for example - would override that. But then, making a change at the universal level would override that.

My recollection is that that's how Ecco Pro worked, and it was never a problem - at least for me.

Anyway, that's my two cents.
