Pam...I didn't realize about copying the list style in the organizer so that
was a useful tip. (I've been scrolling right past it all this time in the
organizer!)
In my source document, I had created the list style associated with the
heading levels/styles. However, when I copied just the list style from my
source to the target, it had no effect on fixing the sick content.
I did ,however, find a workaround that accomplishes my goal. I simply copied
healthy sample paragraphs that had heading 1-5 styles applied from my source.
I pasted them in my target document and they maintained their indents, etc. I
then selected each paragraph individually, chose "update heading 1 ( or 2, 3
etc.) to match current selection" from the styles pane, and all the problem
instances of those headings elsewhere in the document became healthy too. To
confirm, I chose to reapply the heading styles to one of the formerly sick
paragraphs. It stayed healthy!
thanks for the suggestions. I always learn something new here.

True, for a one off it would be easier. My suggestion would help get the

Or, which might be easier, create the list style directly in the target
document. Note that even if you make use of a list style (which is
recommended in Word 2007), you can still associate each numbering level with
a paragraph style.
In Word 2007, multilevel list numbering and paragraph style settings are
separate features. You can create a _list style_ (as opposed to an item
