(new proposal, only addressing the current "Reset" button)

1. Keep label unchanged.
2. Must also change button action so that it is only active when "Reset" is
possible.

Main reason: 

Reset appears both in Paragraph and Paragraph Style dialogs, but “Apply”
appears only in Paragraph Style.  

Implication.  tooltip for "Reset" has to be identical for these two contexts,
because they are based on the same .ui file, and, afaik, there is not a
contextual tooltip function.)

( Same story for Character and Character Style)

3. Tooltip for Reset:  

  Return any changes here back to the starting values 

Alternatives for 
  "here":   "on the screen" or "shown on the screen"
  "values"  "settings"

(please read this tooltip contextually (i.e., with point 2 and the use
situation in mind.)  The "Reset" button will only be active if you have
actually made changes in the dialog box (also if you have used the "Apply"
button). So the tooltip would only appear in a situation where you have
actually changed values -- otherwise the Reset button would be inactive (and no
tooltip shown). 

(considered and rejected "initial" -- because it is less temporally-anchored
than "starting")
