What causes "Char" styles?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Using Word 2002, I'm typesetting camera-ready copy for a book and have
started to play around with fonts and design. I applied Book Antiqua to one
page and printed it out to see how it looked, noticed an anomaly regarding
hyphens (which is another question), and reset the text to the default font.
All of a sudden all my styles exploded. In addition to Heading 1 I acquired
Heading 1 Char, but then Heading 1 became "Heading 1, Heading 1 Char" and
"Heading 1 Char" became "Heading 1 Char Char." Every style I had used in the
document (including some that were not on the page where I'd changed the
font temporarily) had doubled and changed its name. I've seen reports of
this from other users, but this is the first time I've experienced it
myself.

I managed to rename all the styles to the original names, but I can't get
rid of the matching "Char" styles. In "User-Defined Styles," I can delete
the "Char" styles matching the paragraph styles, but if I do that the
paragraph style is also deleted. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Suzanne

I take it the problem persists even after de-corrupting it? If so, although
it sounds like a Word 2002-specific bug, I'd be interested to look at it in
my copy of Word 2000 and see if doing that gives any clues.

Regards

Dave

I am not 100% positive but isn't there a new feature in Word XP that allows
a person to link the "heading" paragraph styles to a character style so that
you can format a leadin head and create a TOC from that?

Right. This has been explored in another thread.
