If you have a document in a Linux word processor and you export to a
word-format documnent, how does it apply attributes so that Word will
render properly? I'm not thinking that the styles will use Word
naming conventions (Heading1, Heading2, Normal, etc.), but If I use a
base style of 12 pt TM with 6pt above, and I have heading that uses
14pt Ariel with 9 pt below, what does Word display in the styles list
box when I place my cursor on the heading where Ariel is applied?
