... to reset a StyleRef to nothing, so that it's not picking up Heading
text from a previous chapter?

The brute-force method would be to ensure that there's a blank heading
of each sub-type immediately after each appearance of the "higher"
heading.

But that kinda messes up the pages visually.



I outsmarted myself by placing a descending series of StyleRefs in my
page headers, pointing to the "current" Heading1, Heading2, and Heading3
(the product manager is enamored of the "You are here" breadcrumbs in my
WebHelp and wants similar in the PDF documents).

Unfortunately, for several pages into a new chapter, there _are_ no
Heading2 or Heading3s, so my header has the chapter name, and the most
recent Heading1 in this chapter, but it's showing Heading2 and Heading 3
from the previous chapter.



I'm carefully choosing search terms that manage to skirt the actual
issue...



Word 2003.
