When I created the list styles, I was also creating document templates for
proposals. New documents based on those template retain the style settings
of the template and the list style (still linked to the headings).

If I move a list style via the organizer to another document not based on the
same proposal template, the list style is still linked to heading style
_names_ (but the headings style settings will be those of the destination
document).

So I think the list-style-with-links works with everything but normal.dotm.
And for good reason.

When I get the time, I'll do some tests myself with this. :-)
