They're essentially identical. On the other hand, I think the section
breaks work remarkably well in Word, as long as I remember to keep an
eye on my section break linking.
This may be irrelevant to your message, but I find the "styleref"
field code invaluable in doing headings that are linked, but neverless
change automatically from chapter to chapter.
