I posted this question on the page layout forum, but did not get any
answers. I hope someone can answer me here.

Hi!
Can I use relative font size in herited styles?
What I mean is that I would like to create a template that for example has a
"body text" of Arial, 12 points... I would like to define a "large body
text" style which is based on the "body text" but the font size is let's say
10% larger or just say "large", and other styles that are based on body
style. Now if I change the font size of the base style, which is "body
text", I don't have to worry about the other styles that are based on "body
text", because they will change automatically as well.

Is it possible to do this in Word?

Hi, Csaba,

Unfortunately, no. All of Word's styles are defined in terms of fixed point
sizes.

You're welcome to suggest a feature at mswish@microsoft.com.
