Default How to restore styles in a document to their original format

To restore the styles of the attached template, you can do the following:
First create a new document based on the template in question. Then use the
Insert File dialog box to bring in the contents of your existing file. (To
display the Insert File dialog in Word 2007, click Insert tab | Object |
Text from File.) The style definitions of the target file will take
precedence.

Note that "Heading 1,PRTM Heading 1" looks like the Heading 1 style with a
style name alias ("PRTM Heading 1"). The alias in itself is irrelevant to
the formatting of the style.

...
When a paragraph is based on a style, say "Heading 1", if somebody changes
it
then Word 2007 may update the list of styles with a new version of the
style
and gives it a new name, say "Heading 1,PRTM Heading 1" and applies all
the
user's changes to it. "Heading 1" is now no longer available in its
original
form even when show "All Styles" is selected from the style manager.

How can one strip all the modifications and restore it back to the
"Heading
1" as it was in the document template?
