[libreoffice-users] Styles not working

I have a Word document (2011 Office for Mac) that I have opened in LO and saved to the LO format 
(.ott).
 
However, the styles that were in the Word document now don't seem to actually work in the LO 
document in LO writer. 
 
If you select text or have the cursor in a paragraph, and then click a different style in the style 
browser, nothing happens.
 
Do styles that were in a Word doc not work in LO?
 
Thanks.
 
Mac
LO: Latest for Mac
OS: El Capitan
