Default Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"

I have never seen "Style Caption" instead of Caption. Are you sure you or
someone else didn't create that style name, either on purpose or
accidentally? It's not one of Word's built-in names, and this is definitely
not the "new way" Word does it.

Your suggestion in the first paragraph solved the problem. Thanks for
that.

But I'd like to say again that what I got isn't the familiar "Caption +
Left".
This said "Style Caption + Left". Maybe that's just the new way Word does
it,
but it wouldn't react to Ctrl-Space to give me the unaltered style. Is
there
a way to run that command explicitly without the keyboard shortcut?

Caption is one of those styles that does not want to display but you can

to it via the Styles & Formatting pane. At the bottom of this pane, see
the
Show mune box, select Custom, Add a tick on the styles you wish to show
all
the time, Caption is on this list. Press OK when you are finished and this
new listing, including Caption, will now remain for the documents based on
that template.

The "Caption + Left" is created by Word because in at least one occurence
you have manually changed a Caption with (in this instance) Left
alignment.
You see these "styles" because the option "Keep track of formatting" found
under Tools, Options, Edit is checked. Uncheck this if you don't want to
see
this types of styles. Or don't format styles manually. Please note, if you
turn off "Keep track..." then the Select All feature in the Styles &
formatting pane will not work.

Hope this helps

I needed to change the formatting of the Caption style, but Word changed
the
name to "Style Caption + Left: 0". Meanwhile the Caption style is
missing

style. But I'm unable to turn this new type back into just Caption. Help
much
appreciated.
