Issue: I attempted to setup a Style Sheet from scratch, AND I even
modified
the existing "Admin Style Sheet Guide" template in Word.

However, every [freakin'] time I make any changes whatsoever within the
document itself OR whether using the "MODIFY" button, the entire document
itself goes completely haywire, replacing formats everywhere and seemingly
randomized everywhere, so that I have to hit CNTL+Z and undo OR manually
change them all back to the original formats, indents, fonts, bullet
styles,
etc.

This is pure insanity, and it would be quicker for me to simply type a
plain
document and then go back and format it by design at the end to assure
integrity.

How can I kill these [freakin] Gremlins in my system???
I'm one ****ed off M.F. because of the waste of time this has been -- I
even
used the instructions in the Admin Style Sheet Guide VERBATIM!!!! TYPICAL
