After years of dealing with Word's "infinite style generator", I'm leery
(bordering on revulsion) of proliferation of styles in any application.

But since Flare doesn't seem to randomly and spontaneously generate
styles, and a style can be turned off and on at just one location in
Flare, your suggestion does have a certain economical attraction.

Between that and a "What's New/Changed" Book in the ToC, I guess I've
got the problem covered.


Whoops!  Late-breaking news, Paul suggested some possibly clean-cut ways
to prevent style proliferation via global editing of span class tags and
CSS changes.
Thanks,
