This will not be the case if you were using Word XP for there is a very
usefull option available with a right click,"Select Text with Siimlar

Sharon,
This is not the answer you are looking for, I know, but it's a cheap
(free) compromise. It works if you have your wits about you and have
looked through the document carefully once.
With the cursor in a paragraph (but no text selected), you can type a
new stylename into the Word style combo box. Press Enter, and, presto,
you've created a new style that matches the hand formatting of the
paragraph in question.
You would still need to page through the doc, find similar paragraphs,
and pick the same style for them, which is still going to be a PITA; but
it's better than nothing.
