Have you ever wondered what all the Styles in Word look like and do?
This command will produce a document showing a list of Word styles with some of their properties.
A new, empty, document will be created based on the current document. So, for example, Using the UK version of Word XP with an open document based on the default template, the Word Styles Lister will create a new document showing 154 styles and some information about their properties. However, if you receive a document from another source, which may well contain many user defined or custom styles, the list could be much greater.
The following is an extract from the resultant file to give you an indication of what is produced.
