Word users commonly focus on developing content, over developing 
styles, so it's common for Word documents to contain 
manually-overridden Normal styles. FrameMaker users can easily 
transmogrify the Body format into many different looks, but it seems 
that they don't do it as often. The point is, it's not Word's 
failing, it's more the common way that Word's used.

Create and Apply Formats could identify 100+ variations of Body in a 
FrameMaker file, if the author had overridden Body that many ways.
