heading style defaults

[esl]

I read somewhere that if I tried to delete an in-built heading style, I couldn't and that Word would simply reset it to the heading's default. --- I can't figure out how to 'try to delete' a heading style

Going back to the heading's default would suit me perfectly. When editing a paper for someone from Korea, I introduced heading styles so that I could make a Table of Contents, and saved the modified heading styles to the template. Later I realized that the heading styles I was working on (from a Korean computer, typing in English) were based on Normal style which included Korean - so that the heading styles on my computer now include Korean (although they are based on MY Normal style which uses US English as the default). It works, but I would like to remove the Korean language residue. I have tried looking into the language part of modify, but I can't see that there is anything there to work with to delete something - only to add a language

(I can see that I need to learn advanced templates - but right now, I just want to get things back to where they were.)

Word will prevent you from deleting the Heading styles along with
Normal and Default Paragraph font. If you delete other built-in styles
then they will be removed from the document however they can be added
back with the default formats.

To reset your Heading and Normal styles you can copy and replace them
from another template/document using the Organizer found under
Tools/Templates and Add-ins.

Unfortunately, heading styles *can't* be deleted from "Styles in use," so
there is no easy way to reset them to their defaults. You can reset
Normal.dot to its defaults by renaming it, or, if your Normal.dot is already
set to the default, you could create a new document based on Normal.dot and
use Insert | File to insert the problem document into it.
