losing formating when open doc

J

Hello,
I use format styles for all of my formatting. I created a table style and
several body/heading styles. Occasionally, I will save and close a document,
and then when I open it up the next day, all of the tables have lost their
formatting and/or taken on random format styles. I have to go through and
manually reapply the table style to every table in the document. Although it
mostly affects tables, other styles also go haywire - e.g., a body style will
suddenly appear as a heading. I basically have to go through and reformat the
entire document, which takes a lot of time.

Why is this happening and how can I stop it?! I did notice that on the most
recent file it happened with, someone else had worked on the same file. Does
that mean that if you are using styles, no one else can work on that
document? That would create a huge problem, since I've created numerous
templates using the styles....

thanks
Jen

In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, is the "Automatically update
document styles" option checked? If so, clear it.
