Wall Styles have disappeared!

Hello again!
I opened a drawing and previewed the wall styles and used one or two on an experimental drawing.
Now when I go to Wall Styles they have all disappeared.
Have some files been mysteriously deleted from our system.
The drawing that I tested the walls on still exists and when I go to Wall Styles in it, they are all there!

Is there any way I can transfer them back to ADT?

Why have they disappeared?

HELP! PLEASE?!*!

Wall styles exist within drawings...and can
therefore be transferred from one drawing to another through the style
manager.

Thank you Michael!
Although I'm still somewhat in the dark because they were on ADT originally as I transferred them from there - I'm positive I did!
There were styles starting with CMU which I believe are 'americanised' wall styles.
Nobody else in the office can find them and the finger is pointing at ME!

Open the Style Manager using the Wall Styles pulldown (or AecWallStyle
command) and then select the open drawing toolbar button. Then

a) In the Open dialog, browse to your template directory (probably
'c:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 4\template") after
selecting 'Drawing Template *.dwt' in the Files of type list
b) Then select AEC Arch (Imperial).dwt or AEC Arch (Imperial - Intl).dwt

Alternatively you can look in the "Wall Styles - CMU (Imperial).dwg" file
that is also supplied (remember not to change the files of type item as
above) or "Wall Styles - CMU (Metric).dwg if you installed metric content
