Please help!

Following an upgrade of my microsoft office from 2007 to 2010 the word templates/styles arent working properly. Clicking on Normal, title and Subtitle work fine - but heading 1 and Heading 2 are not working at all.
I just click on "heading 1" when the text is highlighted and the text just stays at or returns to "normal".



None of the templates are working properly!

Thank so much

When selecting text, make sure to select whole paragraphs.

You should also verify that the heading styles have the formatting that you want.

Selecting the whole paragraph doesn't make a difference.

When I try modfy a style it says that "the style name already exists or is reserved for a built-in style".

Its only the headings 1, headings 2, headings 3... which arent working. When I click on them nothing happens. when you click on the other styles - like "normal" or "title" - the style gets a border showing that it is selected.

The error message suggests that something strange may be going on... :-(

If you click in a heading paragraph (don't select anything) and press Ctrl+Shift+S, then what do you see in the Apply Styles pane? If you click the Modify button, do you get the error message again?
