Hi waveluna,

This is happening because:
a) you've changed the styles from thos of the template upon which the document is based; and
b) the 'Automatically update document styles' option is checked, under Tools|Templates and Add-ins.
Unchecking the 'Automatically update document styles' option will prevent the style reversion. The better practice, though, is to
use a template with the appropriate style definitions.

I frequently use styles to format my documents. However, sometimes I have
noticed that when I save a document, close it and then open it later, the
style formats have changed. This most often seems to happen on Headers - for
example when I save the file there will be outline numbering applied to
Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. but when I open it next time the numbering is gone
or the font on the numbering has changed. I've also had my paragraph spacing
change - such as I changed a style to only have 4pt after a paragraph and
when I reopen the document (or someone else opens it) the style has reverted
back to having 6pt after the paragraph.

This becomes problematic when I have to keep changing the styles back every
time I leave and come back.

This has happened on multiple documents. I would greatly appreciate a
solution as it tends to suck up time I don't have!

Thanks!
