The advantage to basing styles on a single "parent" is ease of changing them all by altering the base style (picking a different body font for print vs. on-line, for example).
Aside from "'Cause I've always done it that way," one advantage to using Normal is that Ctrl+Shift+N applies that style. I know, I could reassign that key combination to apply any style I want, but why bother? I've never had a problem with it.
HTML Indexer 4 is still the easiest way to create and maintain indexes
for web sites, intranets, HTML Help, JavaHelp, and other HTML documents.
Now with fully integrated cross-references, target frames and windows,
multiple-file output, "one-step accept" of default entries, and more!
