Default Strange Occurences When Using Track Changes

I was working on a document that resides on a shared file in my office. My
supervisor then reviewed the document using track changes. She accessed it
through the shared file. After she was done with the document, the following
strange things had occurred:

- Bulleted text throughout the document had been de-bulleted.
- A checkbox symbol that occurred throughout the document had been deleted.

For all of these changes, my supervisor was identified as the person who had
made these changes, however she did NOT make any changes to the formatting of
the document. The strangest part of it to me, is that I could neither reject
nor accept these changes. They showed up in track changes font for deleted
items, however, it would not respond to any accept or reject commands.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

If the bulleting had been applied as direct formatting, perhaps the document
was opened with "Automatically update document styles" set and the bullets
were removed because they were not part of the style?

I'll check to see if that's the issue. If that's the case, do you know how
would I go about changing that?

Thank you.

Don't open with "Automatically update" selected?
