What Michele says seems logical. However, some UI elements use Normal style
and modifying this style can render those UI elements near useless. Word
carries any modification that you make to Normal style through to the text
boxes in these UI elements. If you increase the font size, the characters in
the theses boxes become larger (and may no longer fit the box). Similarly,
increasing the leading (space before) pushes the characters down the boxes
and they no longer fit. Of course, the UI elements affected are the last
ones (like indexing) that you use when producing a document -- so you don't
find out about it until it's too late.
