Hi Lori!
What would happen if you selected all of the text and cut it to the
clipboard, then opened Wordpad, dumped all of the text in there, then cut
it all to the clipboard again and dumped it back into Word? I'm wondering
if you wouldn't have a normal style then. I have never tried it, and have
never had such a difficult book, and I don't know much about Word's styles.

I am proofreading a book that should have 174 pages. It began with 539
pages. By fixing formatting, changing page size from a small custom sized
page to 8 and 1/2 by 11 and by changing margins, I now have 239 pages in
the book. I also reduced the font to .12 throughout.
What is really perplexing me is that every few lines I get a statement
that says either style character 1 style character 2. I have selected the
entire document and changed the style to body text. Even so I cannot get
rid of these other two styles.
Is there some simple way to change the entire style to normal?
I'm hoping that using normal style throughout and increasing my page
length will get the book to the right number of pages and also make it
easier to read.
I am using Word 2003.
It looks like an interesting book, but I'm going to release it if I cannot
get the book into one style.
Any help would be appreciated.
