I see that not all of the values are saved (e.g., the bool for enabling headers), but that would be easy to fix. |
This is why I chose MS Word and worked hard to get the styles to show up on the right pane (easy manually but it was hard in code). Everybody has different tastes and even for me some books require a different look. I wanted users to have the ability to easily change fonts, sizes and styles and even create their own as well. So it's great to hear you've made use of that feature.
The fonts size are overloaded by calibre. To change the font size on the eBook you have to set the base font size when creating the LRF eBook. By default I set the size to 8pts .

Perhaps this could be added as a button to BookCreator?

I'll add it to the v3 line of BookCreator. Incidentally do you have 2003 or 2007 I'd like to know if this trick works on both MS Word versions
