Guessed


I am aware that deleting a style reverts any thing that used that style back to the based style. But that is not what is happening. The style that was deleted was not in use, was based on Normal and had no styles based on it. It is not necessarily an individual faulty style, it happens with any unused style that has a level number between 1 and 9 (level 10 indicates no level).

The issue does not occur in the 64 bit version of Word2016.
There are differences between the 32 and 64 bit versions. For example the statement:

If Application.Version = 16 Then

works in the 32 bit version but raises an error in the 64 bit version because it has stricter type checking.

If others cannot replicate this problem then my copy of W2016 32 bit might be corrupted.
