The example was quite artificial. Yet, I *do* use \bf, \em and \sc.
Why are they obsolete and what should one use instead? 
(\emph and \textbf?) I learned Latex from a 1996 book. They didn't say
anything about these commands' obsoleteness.

Then it seems that I have misunderstood some passage of the manual
(that I cannot find now).

I am writing a document of the type [german]{book}. I would like
to preview all headers. I will attach my preamble to this mail.

Thanks for your answers so far and sorry for all this text.
I dont know how to state the problem clearly with less text.
