Default Why does my Quick Styles Gallery behave like a template, when I don't actually have that template?

Hello,

I'm hoping for some clarification on how styles within documents work, and how templates affect documents they are attached to. I'll post three screenshots to illustrate why I am confused.

This first screenshot shows that there is a document I am working with. It was originally created with a template that is not on my machine:

There is no "Documents and Settings" folder on the root of my C:/ drive - I have Windows 7, not XP. I do not have any templates on my machine, other than the Normal.dot file, shown here:

Yet, if you look at the quick-style-access toolbar I've highlighted in Red in the above picture, you'll see I have 9 Heading styles available in the document. My normal.dot template file on my machine only has 2 Heading styles. In fact, here's what a document looks like when I create a new document from scratch:

So, what I'm wondering is: Why can I see Headings 1 - 9 in screenshots one & two, when I don't even have the template that the document was made with?
