Well, you can't have both: Two sets of heading styles with different
formatting *and* only use the built-in heading styles <g>
In addition to the advice you got from the others:
It's much, much easier to prepare *one* proper template for all authors in
advance, then to combine docs based on different templates.
If different authors need to use different sets of styles in the same
(assembled) document, you could hide some sets of styles that are in the
template for some of the users.
