Default My Style Sets Formatting Hell!

Hi folks,

I hope you can help. I am redesigning a set of dozens of documents for a firm.

What I've done is copy the contents of old Word documents and then paste them into brand new documents with no formatting (or so I thought!)

We then decided to create our own theme and style set so that customers could change the look of the documents at the click of a mouse button.

But I have an issue in that, when I apply the style set to some documents, there are issues. Eg, heading 4 doesn't have the "1.1.1.1" numbering, the bulleted list has either numbers of no bullets, and heading 2 reverts to "H2", which is what was in the old documents.

Is there anything I can do? Whenever I think I've fixed the issue, I open another document and... same problem.

Is there a way to maybe strip out the old style set and then add the new one without getting bits of old formatting coming through?

Really desperate, so would appreciate any help!

Many thanks,

Andie
