Thanks, Stefan.

It was included and inheritances are set properly.

I *think* this all might have stemmed from one of those lame excuses like "OH, the originator of the document made the document on a Mac using Word."

When new documents are made, all the styles populate properly. (This took several calls to ascertain).... it turns out it is just ONE document that doesn't pull in styles correctly.

I know of other "weird events" that happen when documents don't properly originate in WINWORD... (for instance, the phantom font Times New Roman Bold which will mess everything up.... courtesy of some weirdness from WordPerfect)... so I have chalked this one up to something "weird."

Any further ideas are certainly encouraged, though. Because it is LAME to blame it on conversion issues.



Thanks, again, Stefan. I really appreciate your input.
