When I am working on a document imported from Word, RH9 is not allowing me to change the styles from the MS_Word styles to my RoboHelp master .css.
When I highlight a line to be changed, I get the message "Reapply style" - I click on Reapply and then get a message which says:A Style name cannot contain spaces or begin with a digit ... However, I'm not using a style name with spaces or beginning with a digit. My style name is just the standard "Normal". Then RH will not allow the style to change from whatever the "MS_" style is.
The original word document was heavily edited with track changes - could that be part of the problem?
I have never had this message before working on this particular document.
Some sections of the document have converted without a problem!! Which adds to my frustration!

Almost certainly Track Changes is your problem. RoboHelp will not play nicely with that feature.
You will need to deal with all the tracked changes in Word and start over.
