Why do some style names have an asterisk pre-name?

As far as I know, if a style name includes an asterisk it is because someone
named it like that (but I guess I could be wrong).

Also, I format long docs and have a style for tables. *This style doesn't
seem "to stick." *I will format using the style and then the table will
revert back to no style. *What would cause this? *Thanks.

What aspects of the style are not preserved? Borders, shading, text
formatting?

The table style has different shading for every other row including
top. This is mostly what goes "away."
