It is up to the creator of the third-party program to ensure that it continues to be compatible with newer versions of Word.
How would I go about updating the document to properly use those paragraph styles? Note that this document is about 400 pages long, so any automated tools for fixing it up would really be appreciated, and recreating it from scratch is not practical(there's a lot of security and macros which are managed by different departments, so I can't mess with those).

Sorry, I know this one's a bit hairy.
