Word Styles don't save changes

I change two of my heading styles, and yet whenever I exit and reopen Word, those styles revert to their previous format.  Sometimes one heading reverts, sometimes two.  Modifying the styles to apply to all new documents doesn't make a different either.

If this happens with a particular document, make sure to clear the "Automatically update document styles" option in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box.

To display the dialog box: Click File tab | Options. In the Customize Ribbon, click to select the "Developer" tab. Click OK. On the Developer tab, click Document Template.
