Check the "free downloads" area of our web site (www.brown-inc.com/rel-info/).
The StyleList macro sounds like just what you're looking for.
I typically use it in conjunction with a couple of others, RemoveUnusedStyles
and MergeFromTemplate, to keep styles clean in multiauthor/multifile projects.
(They're all written in WordBasic, but work fine when imported in Word 97.)
