Hi all,

I did ping Jonathan about the headings, so I believe he will be  
looking into that. Thanks Paul for the "How To" link! I have also  
found many reasons that it would be helpful to upgrade Confluence  
(e.g. reordering child pages: http://www.nabble.com/Changing-the-order-of-child-pages--tt16993065.html#a17208242) 
  so here's a big thumbs up to an upgrade! +1

Thanks Anastasia for looking into it!
Allison
