After I click on a Linked Style, why does Word fail to apply it to text?

~~[![enter image description here][1]][1]~~
~~Pls see the GIF below. This snag happens randomly, and happens to entire paragraphs and text in paragraph (when I'm trying to color only some words in a paragraph).~~
With my cursor, I highlighted Purple 1 then clicked on Normal twice, but nothing changes!
Yet when with my cursor I highlighted Purple 4 then click on Normal twice, Purple 4 changed to Normal Style! Why?
