Thanks for that. I could be mistyping. My fingers get a little dyslexic after a few hours of editing!

I've asked around--and apparently a lot of things can remove styles. One possibility is a keyboard shortcut that you're typing not knowing that it's been assigned to clear styles. (The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Spacebar.) It could also be a macro that is assigned to run when you save the document.

That sounds frustrating! I'll ask around, but in the meantime I recommend also checking on answers.microsoft.com.

This is great - but what happens when Word loses a heading style and reverts all text to the default paragraph style for no reason? I've got a long document less than 500 KB long and I've had to reformat all my headings for the tenth time in 2 hours. Not good enough!

Disappointed by the post, I hoped to really understand how to manage huge text documents!
