Style Editor

[Michael]

I am working on a book that has 14 chapters. When I create a master
document, I end up with 8-20 styles that have the same name and attributes.
No matter how I bring the document together, I end up with several styles
that I would like to merge or delete. Word is extremely slow, not always
responding to changes. Does anyone know of a Word style editor or
application? Is there some VBA code that can be used to manage the styles?

If it's only a one-off task, it's probably easier to use Find and Replace to
clean up your styles.

Display the Find and Replace dialog. Click the More button. Leave the Find
and Replace boxes empty. Click the Find box, click Format > Style, and
select the style you want to get rid of. Click the Replace box, select the
style you want to use instead. Click Replace All. Repeat for each
superfluous style.

Then use the Organizer to delete the styles no longer required.
