Default Footer table styles take on new styles

I've seen this happen spontaneously too. Several times, I was able to undo
all changes until the table style was fine again, and every time the action
that caused the corruption of the table style was the deletion of a linked
(paragraph/character) style.
It hasn't happened lately though, so perhaps make sure you have all the
latest updates installed?

Regards,
Klaus

I suppose that could be the problem in some instances, but I always
keep that unchecked. I am making templates for others, and the user
that had the problem had it unchecked as well. It's hard to know
exactly when the problem occurs sometimes because it mainly occurs in
the table I have in the footer of the cover page and you don't notice
it till you go back to that page or reopen the document. And it
happens pretty rarely. My template has macros that update that footer
when new information is entered and it generally works as advertised,
but I just can't figure out what is happening when this blowup occurs
(and it's hard for a user to know what he did that might have caused
it). Thanks for the reply. I will at least keep that in mind as a
possibility sometimes.
