Default How to ask a modified style be affected on current document

Thanks for the reply, glad to help.

Thanks DeanH
It seems your opinion is true. This resets all formatting and then any new
formatting takes effect.

It sounds that you have some manual formatting applied to the text in your
document for these specific styles. Modifying the styles sometimes does
not
take affect because of the manual formatting.
You can use the Ctrl+Spacebar, which removes any manual formatting and
returns all the text selected to its base style settings, which now would
be
the newly modified styles. For speed you can select the whole document
(Ctrl+A), then Ctrl+Spacebar, but this will remove all manual formatting
for
all styles which you may not want.
Depending on the version of Word you are using, you could use the Find,
Select All, searching for the style, then Ctrl+Spacebar. Or use the
Replace,
Find style, Replace with the same style. This should re-instate the new
style.
Hope this helps
