Default Directly applied formatting in tables suddenly change to style

Yes, Blank.dot is my firm's custom template for blank documents.

Is Blank.dot a custom template (Normal.dot is the template on which a Blank
Document is based)?

Yes, I looked at that and it is cleared. It seems to be happening on an
automated process (i.e., TOC update, Index update, save (doc id update)).
Can't pinpoint it though. I did notice today that the template changed

from
Blank.dot to Normal.dot. Could this be a template issue?

In a new document cleanup (large, legal financial documents), we apply

the
Table Grid style then directly apply the formatting we need (i.e.,
borders,
decimal tabs, indents). Lately, we have found that the tables in our
documents suddenly change from directly applied formatting to various
styles
(i.e., TOC1, Heading, Index, Balloon Text). There doesn't seem to be

any
rhyme or reason. At first, we thought that it happened upon TOC

update or
Index update. Has anyone seen this?
