Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is a
definition of insanity ...

Are you maybe trying to remove non-Style formatting from a paragraph?
Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-space are two of the ways for doing that.

I don't know exactly what's happening.

I select a paragraph, including the paragraph mark at the end. I apply a
style, which is the same as the paragraph already has. I get the familiar
message "Do you want to update the style to reflect recent changes, or
Reapply the formatting of theh style to the selection?" *I select "Reapply".

Then I do exactly the same thing, and I get the same update/reapply message.
Why does Word keep asking me?

Thanks.
