You have to be kidding!!!

Not that I make a habit of applying Paragraph styles to selected text, but I
have to work with other people's Word documents. Believe it or not, most
people are NOT Word gurus.

I've had the misfortune to inherit about 1,000 documents that all display
"Default Paragraph Font Para Char Char" as the "paragraph style" for
practically every paragraph. I searched for "solutions" to this obvious bug
(aka "feature), and found this:

If that is the best solution anyone can come up with, then there is
something fundamentally broken in Word, and it has been since 2002. I do not
have time to copy the text into a new document as Plain text and reformat.
But I would like to know what paragraph styles have been applied. How am I
supposed to make "global" changes to a style unless I can tell what it is?
Guess which one it might be?

Is this fixed in Office 2005?
