I can't take credit for creating the macro; MVP Cindy Meister did.
Anyway, as far as I can tell, the macro fixes the problem for the
Heading 2 style, only. It would have to be modified for the other
styles. See the following thread (the reply by MVP Klaus Linke):

Note that you should test the macro on a copy of the document first!

That was very useful, Stefan. I will definitely use it the next
time I
encounter that problem.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can use your solution for my problem
coz my
ENTIRE document is in this "Char Char Char..." style, i.e. Heading
1,2,3,4,
Normal, Caption, etc. ALL show this style. If I were to use your
macro,
would it mean that the whole document will be in one style, e.g.
Heading 2,
only?

I am using Office 2003.

I developed my document mainly using Styles. However, just
today, I
cut and
pasted some text from another document and reformatted them
using
styles.
Then, I realised that my whole document is "using" the style
"Char
Char Char
etc." which came out of nowhere. My styles still exist, meaning
I
can select
text and reapply my styles. But after doing so, the style name
still shows
as "Char Char...". Visually, my document still looks ok but
it's
annoying
that I can't remove this "Char Char Char..." style!

BTW, I reopened my document in Safe mode and the problem is
still
there.
