Why do my styles keep reverting to Calibi? I set up a style with an Arial font, apply it to text, save the document, open it up a again, and BAM the text is back in Calbri. I mean if you save a document, you'd THINK you'd want to keep the same style of font. I swear, Word is like an insolent child that just pretty much does what it wants. I have been working extensively with Word for 20+ years now and I still haven't figured out how to tame the beast.

Hi, rbilleaud.
It sounds as if you have style auto-updating on. This is a a function located in the Template dialogue box. In 2003, I think that's Tools/Templates and Add-ins, or [Alt]+T,I -- it's been a while.

In any case, just below the name of the attached template (which I suspect is your Normal template, Word's default one), you'll see a checkbox that says "Automatically update styles." Uncheck this and your problem should be solved. However, note that the updating was from the template itself, which, presumably has a style of the same name in Calibri. Check the template and make the correction there if you wish to really fully resolve the issue.

Hope that solves your problem.

Best,
