IWork 09 - Auto Generating Headings

Question

Hi Guys,
This is driving me up the wall, I have iWork '09 and in the Paragraph Styles section, when I click Heading 2 it automatically generates a new heading style called Heading 3, all the way up to 9.
If I try and delete the heading, the delete button is grayed out.
Is this a bug or a feature? How do I fix it, stop it. I just want a couple of styles called Heading.

Looking in the internals of the templates, I found the descriptors of these "Heading" style (which are named "Sous-section" in French.
Here is one of these descriptors:
<sf:paragraphstyle sf:name="Sous-section 1" sf:ident="paragraph-style-35">
<sf:property-map>
<sf:defaultTabStops>
<sf:number sfa:number="35.43307" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:defaultTabStops>
<sf:firstTopicNumber/>
<sf:tabs/>
<sf:leftIndent/>

<sf:null/>
</sf:paragraphFill>

<sf:bold>
<sf:number sfa:number="1" sfa:type="c"/>
</sf:bold>

</sf:showInTOC>
<sf:paragraphRuleWidth/>
<sf:fontSize>
<sf:number sfa:number="18" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:fontSize>
<sf:hidden/>
<sf:underline/>
<sf:hyphenate/>
<sf:word_strikethrough/>
<sf:paragraphRuleOffset/>

</sf:outlineColor>

<sf:decimalTab/>
<sf:strikethruColor>
<sf:null/>
</sf:strikethruColor>
<sf:atsuFontFeatures/>
<sf:pageBreakBefore/>
<sf:kerning/>
<sf:paragraphStroke>
<sf:null/>
</sf:paragraphStroke>
<sf:underlineColor>
<sf:null/>
</sf:underlineColor>
<sf:underlineWidth/>
<sf:alignment/>
</sf:property-map>
</sf:paragraphstyle>
I highlighted in bold ttwo items showing that these styles are linked to TOC.
I tried to remove the descriptor and sure, the program failed to use the beast.
So, my guess is that you will have to live with them.
