Hi Guessed,

I have attached a sample document: Sample_tracked.docx.

Background (repeated in short):

For the body text, I use two custom paragraph styles: (1) My_03a_Body_First_para and (2) My_03b_Body_Other_paras.

Both of these styles are based on my custom style My_00_Body_base, which is based on “no style” (to make it independent of the normal template) and “Automatically update” is set to off.

I have also created some character styles (based on “underlying properties.”) that I can apply to the paragraph styles.

Two such styles are (a) My_03e_Body_Italics and (b) My_03f_Body_Thoughts.



In this case, both character styles simply apply italics.

Normally, when I apply the style My_03f_Body_Thoughts, the tracking pane/balloon shows “My_03f_Body_Thoughts.”

If I reject the change, I get back the original text correctly formatted (with the character format removed).

The problem:

Occasionally, I see that the tracking pane/balloon has changed the name of the applied character style to “My_03f_Body_Thoughts, Font: 12 pt, Font color: Text 1.”

Now, in this case when I reject the change, I DO NOT get back the original text correctly formatted to what it was before application of the character style.

The color on the original text changes to green (should be black). Further, sometimes, the font size becomes 8 pt (instead of 12).

When I rest my pointer on the messed up text, the style pane still indicates the correct original paragraph style.
