Default Stubborn style applied to graphic

Positive. I even created paragraph markers from normal paragraphs above and
pasted them below the caption and picture. Then I copied the picture into
that new paragraph. The graphic stayed "Photo Captions".

I just managed to fix them all by Painting the paragraph marker (which is
Normal style) to the entire paragraph (including that same paragraph marker).
It sometimes took a couple of paints, but I got them all to Normal.

I'm relieved but baffled. And some of my Stylenames show an Arabic-like
character at the end.

Are you sure you don't have the photo in the same paragraph with the

Bon Jour,

OS: Win XP
Word: 2003

i'm working on a document that someone else created. It contains pictures
inserted inline in its own paragraph immediately after a caption. The
caption
has its own style "Photo Captions".

That style was set to create a "Photo Captions" style afterwards so, not
surprisingly, the paragraph with the graphic was set to "Photo Captions"
style. But this is a problem because the Table of Figures is based on the
"Photo Captions" style. The picture shows up as part of the Table of
Figures.

So I highlighted the picture and its paragraph marker and selected the
"Normal" style. But the graphic continued as a "Photo Captions" style.

Thinking the document might be corrupted, I pulled the body of the
document
(minus the last paragraph marker) into a new document and the problem
persisted. I then brought just one picture/paragraph into a fresh document
and the problem persisted.

Ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance.
