Sorry for not being clear.

You explained that styles based on "(no style)" get their settings from
the
document defaults when *created*, which makes sense. It's the fact that
they
are affected by subsequent changes to the document defaults that I find
annoying. I guess there is some logic to it, but it contradicts the
experience from previous versions of Word.

I thought that might be what you were referring to. :-)

One on hand, by making this change Microsoft has fulfilled a few
long-standing wishes. We've been asking for years for the ability to
completely rid ourselves from TNR in documents, the ability to use "true"
base defaults that don't involve using a style, and an easy way to set our
own defaults. Now we have these abilities. On the other, since it is a
difference in how Word has always worked I'm sure there will be folks who
don't like the change.


I guess I'm saying that I'm somewhere in between "liking" and "not liking"
this. :-)
