When a paragraph doesn't have applied a style, the Normal style should be automatically applied. Currently, similar paragraph obtains its style from the parent. This is reproducible when exporting to PDF and RTF. Workaround: Check if there is a paragraph without style ID and if so, set it to Normal: foreach (var paragraph in this.document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<Paragraph>()) { var value = paragraph.StyleId; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) { paragraph.StyleId = "Normal"; } } Available in LIB Version 2017.2.731.
