Default Reset default theme after changes to styles?

I was used to creating my own styles and templates in Word 2003, so I did
that for a couple of projects I'm working on that use unique styles. But
somehow in the process of figuring out how to do that in Word 2007, I managed
to change the styles in Normal.dot too. Now, even when I change the Theme
(even the default theme in Normal.dot), I can't get rid of the old styles
that automatically show up. For instance, even when it shows Solstice (for
example) as the default theme in Normal.dot now, the styles for Headings are
still showing for the template styles I created for one of these other
projects.

I have the project styles saved in separate templates, so I'm not afraid I
might lose them. But I'm afraid to just delete the styles from Normal.dot (as
a solution to resetting them) because they're basic styles (Heading 1,
Heading 2, etc.). Changing the various style components (under Colours or
Fonts in Page Layout) doesn't affect the styles I changed (although changing
the theme, colours or fonts does affect the styles I didn't change).

How can I reset the Normal template so that it responds to changes in the
theme, colours, etc.? I can't seem to find any reference to this in the Help
section or in this newsgroup. Thanks!
