Often when I am preparing a document the style for a particular heading changes from what it was in the beginning to what it becomes later in the document.

For example, I often use the predefined "Heading1" at the top of my document and then use "Heading 5" for each of my sections, and Heading 5, on my machine, has the following attributes:
                            Arial   11.8   Bold
As well as the spacing before and after and the next line reverting to "Text body", etc.

However, later on in my document, Heading 5 will suddenly no longer be bolded and look quite different.

If I put my cursor over one of the bold section headings it says it is "Heading 5" If I put my cursor over a non-bold section heading it says it is "Heading 5"

They look quite different but they are both "Heading 5"?

I would be very much obliged if anyone could tell me why this is so and if I am doing anything wrong. How can Heading 5 have different attributes in differing parts of the document?

Try this: select all the text of one of the incorrectly-formatted headings, right-click and choose Default Formatting from the pop-up menu. That should restore it to the correct formatting for Heading 5, and it should remain correctly formatted after that.

I've seen this problem frequently when someone has used manual formatting on the document in the past, and/or when more than one person has worked on a document. I suspect there are other potential causes.
