I've noticed that the strokes on several shapes will not adjust when I try to change them using the Style window. Then I noticed that it was only the strokes that I had adjusted with the Line Width Tool that were unchangeable.
When you use the Line Width Tool on a shape linked to a Style does it permanently break that link?
Is there any way to re-link the Style's stroke value to the shape?
I've tried deleting the Stlye from the shape and reassigning it. I've also tried selecting all points on the shape and dragging the Line Width Tool all the way to the left to reset the value.
So far no success.
Does using the 'Line Width' tool break the link to Styles

You can restore the stroke to its default state (or assigned style) by selecting the points in question and going to the menu, Draw -> Reset Line Width (ctrl-L).
Make sure you're on frame 0 when you change your style. Styles can be animated and if you accidentally make a change on the timeline, it can be a headache trying to find the keys.
What you're doing is overriding a style and style overrides are animatable too. Watch your style palette and be aware if you're changing a style or an override.
Think of each assignment of a style to a shape as a unique instance, with it's own animated properties.
