From my limited experience, if the text line already has a style it seems to want to retain that style even though one tries to modify it. If I use a Blank document everything works OK, but for a previously created document Not so much.

You can modify
any paragraph or character style whether it is a built-in or custom style. Word does not really think in terms of text lines. It does think or operate in terms of words, sentences, and paragraphs.
(It does not think in terms of pages, either. Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is by Daiya Mitchell, MVP )
Word 97 is old technology. It will work but Word 2003 is substantially better. Neither is supported by Microsoft. The .docx document format introduced with Word 2007 is superior to the .doc document file format.
I strongly recommend that you go through the short tutorials by Shauna Kelly.
Basic concepts of Microsoft Word: An introduction by Shauna Kelly, MVP While that was written for Word 2003, virtually all of it applies.
