Re: [libreoffice-users] Neat Writer Feature -- Relative Font Sizes

Hi :)
Styles rock!!! :))

I didn't know they could go that extreme and usually try to switch-off
the relative font-sizes because the idea freaks me out.  It feels like
everything goes outside of my direct control!  However that means i
would have to adjust each heading-level individually which now seems
really dumb.  If i have a case where i don't like the headings i could
just re-adjust just the one rather than always having to do them all!
lqtm.  I feel i've been being a bit of a moron tbh
Regards from
Tom :)
