Still wondering about those same things...

I know, inheritance can be a pain. As every styles ARE defined from the "normal" 
style, they ALL inherit any change you make to it. You should be able to set 
what characteristics of a style are inheritable.
Solution: Create your own style, say "MyNormal". Then, if you want, derive some 
other styles from it.

File|Open... select "normal.dot", edit it, hit CTRL+S, done. Simple.
