As a follow-up, I have found that establishing the heading styles in my original Word 2011 (Mac) program, I have full control over the font types and sizes and these carry over into my epub file after saving from Word into .htm and opening that file in Sigil. The only thing Sigil does not do at this point is to recognize the page breaks in Word as chapter breaks. So I then open the Sigil-generated epub in Calibre (which does recognize them) and convert once more. I then have an epub (or mobi) file with appropriate chapter breaks and chapter headings in the font and style I want, as well as a fully functional NCX Toc. This way, I have avoided the erratic "header" behavior I found in Sigil 0.4.0.
