HI :) I think the default font size is the font size of the "text-body" or "default" style used in the body text that is under the heading (hopefully)
Note that if you look through the various font sizes of the styles that are given as defaults then "Heading1" is already set as a percentage. It's only "Heading2", "Heading3" and so on that would need changing from fixed sizes. Another neat trick is that all the styles cascade anyway. So if you modify the relevant style then all subsequent ones change too, to stay relevant to the one you changed. Sadly i don't fully understand which ones cascade from which. clicking this link starts downloading the Pdf directly https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/6/6e/GS4003-StylesAndTemplates.pdf Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Tim Deaton <t...@timdeaton.org> >To: Virgil Arrington <cuyfa...@hotmail.com>; "users@global.libreoffice.org" ><users@global.libreoffice.org> >Sent: Wednesday, 21 August 2013, 2:04 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] A neat feature (base and related font sizes) > > >Sounds interesting.
