You can do that easily -- just create paragraph styles without a font.
In some ways, Nisus' styles aren't as "sophisticated" as Word's, but
in many ways they're a whole lot easier to use.

As for spacing and all, remember that it's really easy to do a search
and replace based on styles, so you can change all of one style into
another, for example.
