To be honest, I didn't notice :D

Sounds good.

I'm sorry if I wasn't completely clear on this. Yes, structuring the 
document is a part of writing the document. So we need to provide a way for 
the user to tell KWord that a paragraph is a headline in the text tool. But 
I don't think the text tool is the right place to define what a headline 
looks like or what this particular headline looks like. Just like you can 
use \section{...} to tell LaTeX that a paragraph is a section, but the look 
of a section is defined somewhere else.
