Way to apply style to * paragraphs

[Peter Hirons]

The * shows that an override has been made - this may or may not be 
needed. If you re-apply the style and discard overrides that change will 
be lost forever.

Work on a copy of the file and compare old with new afterwards, or 
create a PDF from the whole book and use that as your reference to spot 
the changes.
