If your STYLES are in a messed up order or are missing a few items like STYLE 3 or HEADING 2, on the STYLES group of the HOME tab in Word 2007, 2010, 2013, or 2016 you can “correct” the situation by:
- Click the STYLES WINDOW popup
- Click the OPTIONS button
- Click the RECOMMEND tab
- Click the item you are missing (like HEADING 2) or out of order
- Click the SHOW button or the MOVE UP / MOVE DOWN buttons as you see fit

On Windows 10 with Word 2016, these tabs are not available. To see the styles properly:
1. Select “Recommended” in “Styles to show” drop-down
2. Select “Alphabetical” in “Select how list is sorted”
I have clicked “New documents based on this template” to have it soted like tyhis in all my new documents
Click “Ok”

Use this method if you have a previous doc with the style you need!
