I have a document with 8 heading styles. When I first set them up, the first heading was not indented nor did it have a hanging or single first line special; Heading 2 had a .25 indent and a .75 hanging special; Heading 3 a .5 indent and a .5 first line special.

When I now open the document, the indents and specials have all changed in the Heading styles, and I am forced to modify them each time I open the document to get them back to where they were originally.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Any idea which version of Word you are using?
Check whether the option "automatically update document styles" is enabled
in your document.

Shouldn't you say whether it would be better for it to be enabled or
not to be enabled?

it depends on your purpose. In a company it could be a possibility to ensure
corporate design. But if it is necessary to modify styles for a particular
document, you don't want the option enabled.

Well, lloydkirk _doesn't_ want his styles to be changing all the time!

That's what I understood. And because his styles are always changing I
suggested to check, whether "automatically update document styles" is
enabled. Maybe that option causes the problem.
