I feel your pain, so am brainstorming wildly.... The conversion doesn't
normally cause such problems. Depending on how many notes you have and how
many went wrong, some messing around might be worth it before you go to
manual reapplication. You should probably experiment on a copy, though.
You could run an elementary check that the doc did not corrupt somehow, by
pasting all except the last ¶ into a new doc (click ¶ on standard toolbar to
show non-printing characters). Check some of the odd notes to make sure
they are actually in the proper style. Try redefining the style and see if
it takes everywhere, or Find and Replace as the same style to see if it
clears it up. Try converting back and reconverting again.
