Manually apply styles to output docx?

I've customized a reference.docx file for applying styles to an exported 
Word document, and am attempting to follow the instructions from the Custom 
Styles <https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#custom-styles> section of the 
manual. If I'm reading the documentation right (and I may not be!) if I 
attempt to apply a custom style that is already defined in the reference 
document, it will not redefine it but apply the existing style. 

However, when I do something like this in markdown+bracketed_spans: 

[my strong text]{custom-style="Strong"}

And there is already a "Strong" style in the reference file, I find the 
span instead has a new style applied to it called "Strong1". 

Is there any way I can manually apply styles to Markdown text for docx 
output? 

Thanks for any help / letting me know where I misunderstand.
