I'm trying to apply simple custom styles to a doc. Success in the first
couple paragraphs. But then in a new paragraph when I apply the style, using
the Format Painter, the font comes up different (Garamond instead of TNR).
The correct style name shows in the "AA" area, but the in the tool bar area
next to it, it says Garamond. I went into Modify Style and it shows the
correct format that I want. So where did Garamond come from?

I did not select Automatically Update when I created the style. The content
was pasted in from another doc, but it was not Garamond.

I've been reading various tutorials and I wonder if this is based on the
style parent/child and cascading style sheets effect. Should I re-create the
styles using No Style? How do you absolute prevent a style from changing,
unless you manually tell it to? (I know that you can do something to prevent
other users from changing the style, but I don't think that's the intent I'm
after.)

I'm using Word 2003.
