Hi Charles,

You have a fantastic site Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word - A Tutorial in the Intermediate Users Guide to Microsoft Word.

That is where I learned the basics of MS Word styles and much more.

A huge thank-you to you.

Ctrl+Spacebar removes the directly applied character formatting.
Ctrl+Q to removes the directly applied paragraph formatting.

That, however, neither explains nor resolves the problem at hand.

I want to understand the following:
(a) Why does the label/name of the character style change (in the tracked changes balloon)?
(b) Why does “Reject” not give me back what I began with?
