Hello,

I have a document that has been set up using styles. All has been fine,
but this morning, I opened the document map so I could jump down to
another part of the document, and noticed that there were far more
"Heading 1" styled paragraphs than there should have been.

When I looked more closely, I noticed that Word has picked random
paragraphs throughout the document, and got it into its head that these
are Headings. If I click on them in the document map, Word takes me to
them as though they were headings.

What's really weird is that the actual text is still marked up in the
Normal style. It has the same visual formatting as before, and if I
click in some of this supposed Heading 1, the drop-down on the toolbar
shows it as Normal. If I choose Format-Styles, the drop-down there also
shows it as Normal.

One major problem that this is causing is that the auto-generated table
of contents is now full of all sorts of stuff that shouldn't be there.

Anyone any idea what has happened, and (more to the point) how I fix it?
I have been working on this document for over three years, and I really
can't face the thought of going through and checking every one of these
changes by hand. There are hundreds of pages here. I have no idea why
this suddenly happened this morning. I haven't touched the styles in
ages, and this change seems to have affected the entire document, not
just the small section where I was working today.

TIA for any help
