sec.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range
This gets the range of the first paragraph in the document. I believe
there will always be one of these because even a blank document
contains at least one (empty) paragraph.

sec.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Style
will return the stylename of the style applied to the paragraph (1)'s
range.

I don't believe there is any functional diffeence betwen that and
sec.Range.Paragraphs(1).Style


Are you making sure that sec is assigned a value in both cases?

in my example I specifically used
Set sec = ActiveDocument.Sections(1)


Hope this helps.
Cheers!
