The style you mention is probably a character style, which is applied on top
of the paragraph style. You can remove direct font formatting (including
character styles) by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar. (Ctrl+Q
will reapply the style.)

In Word 2007, type some text. Then highlight the text and apply a style,
e.g
sub-reference. The text will now have bold and a color applied to it. Now,
let's say you want to revert the text to Normal. So, highlight the text,
select Normal style and the text does not change back to normal. You need
to
manually unselect the color and the bold font. Why doesn't selecting
Normal
revert the text back to the original Normal style?
