Created attachment 197870 [details]
xml data in table to compare differences.

In a odt file, when a header is unset ([ ] Header on), there are style data that is not delete.
This affects the default tabs position (center and right) in the header when a new paper format is selected.
I compared the styles.xml subfile of a new empty document without header, a new empty document with header, and a new empty document with the header removed. See in the attachment.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set header in a document.
2. Unset the header.

Actual results:
After step 2, there are unused(?) style data that remains.

Expected results:
After step 2, unused style data must disappears, so if a different paper format is selected, center and right tab stops are correctly positioned.

I hope implementing this won't be a difficult task.
