I'm not looking for a script...I just want an advanced form of the
organizer. I picture the two style lists just the way it is, but with the
ability to connect each individual style from one side to the other. This
would allow me to not only replicate, but condense the styles by connecting
3-4 on the left to a single one on the right.
It seems so obvious, can't believe it doesn't exist. Go figure. I haven't
been in Word for about 7 years and it hasn't gotten any better.

You can also use the Styles menu, which I find useful for cleaning up
all the darned inline formatting that I find in documents that I
inherit from people. I'm always a little wary about using scripts to
reformat things, unless I'm sure the person who wrote it knew how to
use styles in the first place. Universal search and replace has
failed me before...
