Default Defined Style has changed to a default

I'm coming towards the end of a mighty tome (454,000 words as of today). Due to its complexity I decided at an early stage to divide the books into sections that are separate Word documents.
These sections all use the same stylesheet, where 'Normal' is the default style (first line indented) with '1st Para' having no indent.

However, one of the Sections has, for some reason, changed all the styles for '1st Para' to 'Normal'. Now, after changing a few back to 1st Para, they all seem to have followed suit.
Thankfully, it is only the one Section that's affected, but has anyone else encountered this before?

Default Updating

It sounds as though "Automatically update" has gotten switched on, either in the style itself or in the template updating.

Is this document set up with Word's master document feature? In that case, you may want to reconsider your choice; see How to recover a Master Document.
