Having worked on formatting stuff straight out of Word, I'd love to have all authors use these templates, at least as a starting point.
That is certainly not a template used to demonstrate styles (not the OO template anyway, didn't look at the Word one). I guess it's neat enough to to demonstrate content you might want to consider including, but as a demonstration of how to format your document using styles it is sadly lacking. He uses exactly two paragraph styles - one for story paragraphs (Text Body Indent), and one for all the rest of the text (Text Body). Everything else is manually formatted - titles, section titles, everything.
