Hi,

I'm having the following problem with a specific document in Word 2007:

The file (let's call it file.docx) has a template attached to it (let's call it template.dotm). After fiddling a bit with file.docx, now when I open it the Heading 1, Heading 2, heading 3... styles appear with a lot of aliases that I did not create and that don't exist in the template.

For example:

Name of the H3 style in template.dotm: Heading 3

Name of the same H3 style in file.docx: Heading 3;H3;h:3;h;3;h3;l3;list 3;Head 3;1.1.1;3rd level;Underrubrik2;Heading3;H31;Heading31;H32;H311;ITT t3;PA Minor Section;TE Heading;Title3

What I can see from the aliases, is that some of them appear in other languages. This must be due (I guess) to the fact that the file was used by other colleagues in other Office environments (German, French, etc.). But I don't know if this might be part of the problem and, specially, how to solve it.

Any help will be highly appreciated!
