Well, what I found confusing was the fact that the OP says it doesn't occur
when the actual template is opened, only when a new document is created from
the template.

You can have balloons on the left, and the area allotted for them is
described by many users as "yellow" though it's actually the same RGB
setting as the "ivory" I use as my window color (which is the reason I
don't
notice it). For all I know, the style area may be that color as well (for
the same reason, I wouldn't notice it), but that wouldn't appear in Print
Layout view, and very few users use Normal/Draft view.

I have to agree that the description doesn't necessarily fit with track
changes balloons. But note that you can choose to have the balloons on the
left (in the Track Changes Options dialog box).

At the left?
Could it be the "Style Area," or whatever it's called, that carries
the style label for each paragraph?
