Default Phantom Styles in MS Word 2003

I am having trouble with a document I acquired for formatting. I work for a
company that developed and uses their own set of styles. However, when
attempting to clear this document of old styles and apply the new ones, the
wrong styles are applied or outline styles are applied. I have tried
deleting unneeded styles as well as the menacing outline style, but they
don't budge. I tried to fix everything manually, but they keep coming back.
Please help me find the source. I have checked to see if the 'Automatically
Update Styles' checkbox is checked, but none have been so far.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Default Phantom Styles in MS Word 2003

Which styles are you trying to delete? Note that you cannot delete the
built-in styles in Word.

On the other hand, if you are trying to delete custom styles, describe what
you are doing, exactly.

Default Phantom Styles in MS Word 2003

One titled 'Table_LJ111' and also the '1. Outlined numbered' style, which may
be built-in, but I've never seen it before. And why should it re-align and
enumerate everything when I apply a table header style to a specific group of
text even after I have "cleared formatting"?

Thanks for the quick response!

As far as I know, the styles you mention are not built-in. What kind of
styles are they (paragraph, character, list, table styles?). How did you
delete the styles? Is it a table style that you are applying?

Table_LJ111 is a paragraph style, and 1. Outlined Numbered is a list style.
I attempted to use the right arrow drop down (with modify, select all
instances, delete) to delete these. However, it was not successful. Word
simply did nothing in response to my clicking delete. The style I am
applying is for table headers, but it's just a simple paragraph style, bold
and centered (and some built-in spacing).

I'd be interested in taking a look at the document in question, if that's OK
with you. You can send it to .
