Default Reproduceable Office 2007 Style Bug - Automatic Highlighting

This is not a bug. When you create a second paragraph style like this it
will be based on the first style (look in the Modify Style dialog box for
the second style), which means that it inherits settings from the first
style.

True. However, the first style is 5% grey. Not bright yellow. The bright
yellow highlight came from nowhere.

Sorry, I apparently misunderstood your first message. After having read it
more carefully, I cannot reproduce what you are describing.

Default Reproduceable Office 2007 Style Bug - Automatic Highlighting

Just tried it on a brand new XP installation with Word 2007. I can reproduce
the problem. If you don't mind, provide me an email and I will send you the
Word Docs saved at each stage. It'll show the progress and the bug.

Regards,
Spitfie
