<span style><br>This is 'sort of' possible in Word.<br><br>Word cascades style definitions. So you should define all your heading styles based on a style called, say, 'Heading Base'. Then you only alter the design as required for each style. If all your headings use the same font family, then it is possible to change the font family by altering the 'Heading Base' style. However, if one of your headings uses a different font family from 'Heading Base', the new 'Heading Base' font family won't cascade to that heading.<br>

I can think of at least one thing FrameMaker can do with paragraph updates that I don't think is possible in Word; you can globally update multiple paragraph styles in one step:<br><br>(1) Create "Heading1" "Heading 2" "Heading3" next to each other<br>
(2) Drag select through these 3 paragraphs, and Control-M to open Paragraph Designers<br>(3) Go to font level. Notice that there is no name displayed for the paragraph style and that some of the values are set to "As Is" (probably font size)<br>
(4) Change the color to Blue and click on Update All<br>(5) FrameMaker will ask you if you'd like to apply only font changes to paragraphs in selected area<br>(6) Click OK, and you have just changed the catalog definition for 3 paragraphs in one step.<br>
