Assuming that the char styles were created the way Cindy Meister
describes in her article, their formatting would depend on which
paragraph style was applied to the selection.

That solves part of the mystery. I didn't know that the styles were
linked.
Can you also tell me why that "Char" style is 12 point font in some
documents
and 10 point in others? Something with the stylesheet?

Our business uses an attached stylesheet to make our
documentation
look consistent. Occasionally we have problems with styles added
by Word when our subject matter experts add content and don't use
the stylesheet properly. I can copy some styles from the stylesheet
to solve some problems and have been able to delete some styles
to solve others, however there are some things that baffle me.
Lately we have found that some users with XP for Windows and
Word
are getting different fonts for the same "Char" style. This throws
off
the formatting. There are some files with a "Table" style which is
Arial 10 and the "Table Char" style which is the same on some
computers, but Arial 12 on others.
A Find on the Char style says there is no content with that
style.
Then when the style is deleted, quite a few of the cells of the
tables
will go to "Normal" (Word replaces the deleted style with Normal
style).
Help?
