A few pages from my manuscript showing the Page Styles have reverted to "Convert."

I am not trying to insert a document from Word.  I only use OOo.

When I create a new Page Style, it seems to work fine.  When I save and close my document, then return later.  All the Page Styles I have created (with my unique names: Chapter 1 Opening, Chapter 1, etc.) have been renamed Convert 1, Convert 2, etc.  This is true throughout the whole document.

Another problem I noticed occurs when I want the first page of a Chapter (Chapter 1 Opening) to not have a Header and Footer.  I create the Page Style and it works just fine.  Then I create the next Page Style for the rest of the Chapter (Chapter 1) with Headers and Footers.  This, also works fine.  However, when I return to the document later, the names of the Page Styles (as mentioned above) have been changed to Convert 1, Convert 2, etc. and now there is a Header box and Footer Box on the first page of the Chapter.  However, these boxes are not lined up in the Document and actually sit above and below the margins.  If I print a page like this, no Header or Footer appears.  However, if I type anything in one of the boxes, what I have typed appears.

Since my document is over 400 pages long, I am going to copy the first few pages and attach them.  I don't know why the first page of the sample is just a Default page.  In reality, it's the last page of the preceding chapter.

I hope there is an explanation for this.  I am formatting a book for the publisher and I need to get it finished.  

Thank you for your help.
