Does not sound good - in my experience this information should be kept.
- Is there any change that there is a mixture of styles and direct 
formatting?
(Select a paragraph and choose Formatting>Default formatting to check)

- Did you also test with a new document in your configuration?

- Any change that you might be able to send a (stripped from conf. info) 
version of the problematic document to me (private mail)

Should do it, as said.

Not needed.
