Default Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"

Your suggestion in the first paragraph solved the problem. Thanks for that.

But I'd like to say again that what I got isn't the familiar "Caption + Left".
This said "Style Caption + Left". Maybe that's just the new way Word does it,
but it wouldn't react to Ctrl-Space to give me the unaltered style. Is there
a way to run that command explicitly without the keyboard shortcut?

Caption is one of those styles that does not want to display but you can get
to it via the Styles & Formatting pane. At the bottom of this pane, see the
Show mune box, select Custom, Add a tick on the styles you wish to show all
the time, Caption is on this list. Press OK when you are finished and this
new listing, including Caption, will now remain for the documents based on
that template.

The "Caption + Left" is created by Word because in at least one occurence
you have manually changed a Caption with (in this instance) Left alignment.
You see these "styles" because the option "Keep track of formatting" found
under Tools, Options, Edit is checked. Uncheck this if you don't want to see
this types of styles. Or don't format styles manually. Please note, if you
turn off "Keep track..." then the Select All feature in the Styles &
formatting pane will not work.

Hope this helps

I needed to change the formatting of the Caption style, but Word changed the
name to "Style Caption + Left: 0". Meanwhile the Caption style is missing

style. But I'm unable to turn this new type back into just Caption. Help much
appreciated.
