Having trouble with Word 2007 changing outline levels automaticall

[MiVidaLoca]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me why word 2007 keeps changing my captions (and other
styles) from "body text" to "level 1" outline categories?

I find the Document Map extremely helpful when working with large documents.
But despite whatever efforts I make to apply the appropriate outline levels,
each time I save, close and reopen my document they all reset to some whacked
out combination of outline levels.

Hi
Thanks Cindy,
Unfortunately that does not seem to work.

I tried using Modify Style. I've also tried using the Style task pane to
select all items with the same formatting - cleared them all then redefined
the formatting (incase there was something hidden I was missing).

I've also tried using the Style task pane to select all items with the same
formatting, and used the Paragraph Task window.

There is something less obvious going on that I cannot put my finger on.

Any other thoughts?

P.S. When I use Reveal Formatting it shows that the paragraph style is
correct, but there is direct formatting applied - but I'm not the one doing
it.
