[stylist] Word Processing question

[slery]

The best way, and the way that copyeditors and publishers use, are to use
styles.

Don't format each heading and chapter. Set it to a style, then when you
define the style (or your publisher changes it), it will be applied to all
items listed as that style and you don't have to change each and every
occurrence.
