Re: Update Style to Match Selection

Ah. *That* "Modify Style" dialog. While you can use the Prompt option to
force it under some circumstances, I don't believe there is a built-in
command to trigger the particular box Greg asked about. I've looked and
didn't find a VBA approach either, either.

You'd only ever want to see that dialog if it contained a style variant, in
which case, you could create a macro to apply the current base/unmodified
style, which would then trigger that dialog (unless the base style is
Normal, in which case the Modify Style dialog refuses to appear).
