To clarify some earlier post of mine.

My concern is that Word has no way to distinguish certain commonly needed 
elements in a style. My favorite example is its inability to use 
dictionary style definitions for a numbered clause and not lose the 
capability of automagically updating the table of contents and using the 
Insert Cross Reference facility to refer to the clause's title.

Many documents would have a need for three tags, one for dictionary style 
definition; another for the usual numbered clause, followed by a 
separate unnumbered paragraph; the third for a numbered clause without a 
title. Word cannot do the first and third, without losing the capability 
of updating the table of contents and using cross references properly.

I pointed out these shortcomings to Microsoft in, as I recall, January 
1993, perhaps Word 7.0 will have these and other problems fixed, one can 
only hope.
