No Such Interface Supported

Hi, I am trying to replace styles in a document (doc or docx) with styles from a template document (dotx). I've imported the dotx into the document with

Code:

---

Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.CopyStylesFromTemplate(Template:=DirectoryForRestyler & cbxNewStyleSheets.SelectedItem.ToString & ".dotm")

---

so that all the styles needed exist in the document. I then have a CustomTaskPane where the user selects the old style from the document by range, and replaces it with a new style.

When they click Replace Styles, I'm getting this

It's got me at a complete roadblock and I don't know how to progress. Looking at the microsoft docs, it states I should be able to set the style, so I'm not sure where I am going wrong.

If you need any more details, I can provide them. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, I am able to use the styles manually by selecting them from Home > Styles.

does styletosetto contain a valid style object?

This is what I have, I noticed that the type is different but not sure how to get around this.

+ par.Range.Style {System.__ComObject} Object {System.__ComObject}
+ styleToSetTo {System.__ComObject} Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Style {System.__ComObject}
