That is the whole way it is set up. Your first line should (normally) always have one star, and 'no stars' should be saved for use as the lowest of all levels, not the highest. It seems illogical that one star is the highest heading, two stars is a lower-level heading, and so on, while zero stars is not a heading at all - but if you try to change that fact, you will be always fighting with org-mode instead of using it. -- David
