[mso] Re: Fixed style sheets?

The styles in the style sheet will remain unchanged regardless of what you 
do to your document, unless you have the option set that will update the 
style sheet automatically.  You'll need to make sure that it's off.  (I 
don't know if that's what you were asking, but it sounded like it.)

I don't think that "Heading 3" + underline (etc) is actually a new style.  I 
think it's just Word trying to be helpful by remembering all formatting 
variants you have used in a document.  I don't like that either, 
particularly as it can be a bit tricky to redefine a style based on 
formatting changes you have made to a paragraph.  (This was very easy under 
2000.  Under 2003, it only seems to work about half the time.)

When you paste from another document, non-duplicated styles are brought 
across.  There's nothing new in that - Word has always done it.  You need to 
remove the unique styles in the document, before copying the information - 
or at least make sure that the paragraphs you are copying across are in a 
style that's already in the target document.
