The TableBody Style does has not itself picked up any bulleting in the style
setting whatsoever making this problem all the more mysterious. Each time I
apply the style to a paragraph, the bullets are applied. When i select an
"infected" paragraph, open the Format Bullets and Numbering / Paragraph
dialog boxes, the rogue settings are in place but when i select to modify the
style itself, there are no such settings in place.

I don't usually use the formatting toolbar at all except in this instance i
already did use it to reset the bullets with my custom style name as you have
also suggested.

I prefer to use custom styels for all formatting including bullets and bold
as well. Every custom style has been created from scratch and based on the
no style option. Even though this makes global updating a very inelegant
chore, which i avoid having to do.

Automatic updates is not selected for any style. Numbered styles are custom
ones included in macro sequences that insert fileds for restarting counters
and continuing.
I try as far as I am able to maintain a "safe" template unhindered by common
problems that Word is prone to create.

Thanks for your suggestions but is there something else i can do?

Check your TableBody style is not set to "Automatically Update" - if it is
then when you bullet a TableBody paragraph that setting will get applied to
the style as well.

If that's not it then have a look in Format Bullets and Numbering and
reset any pane that shows a bullet format with the TableBody stylename - if
that bullet formatting gets applied it will create the link to the style,
even if the style was not previously bulleted.

Either way, you will also need to modify the TableBody style itself to
remove the bullet formatting it seems to have picked up.

I have a custom table body style based on no style.

I have applied specific attributes tot he style and it has worked well for
me until today.

When the style is applied, the paragraph displays with bullets and tabs.
The
TableBody style has no such attributes and i have to manually select
occurences and use the formatting bar to remove the unwanted attributes.

How and where are these attributes becoming linked ot the style. I have
checked the style settings and there is no indication that the unwanted
attributes have been applied to the style.

How can I fix this problem?

I dont want to trash the template because it is a custom template with
many
styles and macros.

Is there a way to "get under the hood" and clean out the template?
