Dick, the format you describe ("name1, name2, name3, ...") is how one
designates aliases for style names.
For example, I prefer to apply styles by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, then typing
the style name and pressing Enter.
I don't want to have to type "Heading 3," so I create an alias by appending
a comma and "h3" to the existing style name in the style definition dialog box.
Word displays it the same way in the style selection drop-down list:
Heading 3, h3
Once this is set up, I can press Ctrl+Shift+S, type h3, and press Enter to
assign the Heading 3 style to the current paragraph.
In your case, the effect seems to be that you can use any of the listed
names to assign the associated style, which might be a desirable feature.
If it's not, editing the style names may be required--I'd be surprised if
Word listed them separately in the Organize Styles dialog box.
