Yes, it seems terminology is getting in the way. It might be simpler
to bite the bullet and reformat the entire document in a different
style that fits in with Word 2007.

As an esteemed friend said a long time back - Real writers write
around the problem.. I'll interpret that to mean I have to format
around the problem (or somesuch). Thanks for your help, it is
appreciated.

Well, it doesn't help that I haven't much of a clue about style sets in Word
2007, which I have actually used very little (and mostly with older
templates that use my Word 2003 styles).
