Method 1: Normal View
Give yourself a 2" style area on the Tools > Options > View tab and lo,
para style names collect in the left column for rapid identification
Method 2: Office XP+
Use the Styles and Formatting Task pane. It is ideally suited to this job.
Method 3: Small macro
Moves from the selection ahead a para at a time, ignoring paras with a
compliant style. Tie it to a shortcut key, pressing said key takes you
straight to the next bad para. Then you use FnR to correct all instances of
it. Said macro could even prompt for one of a half dozen styles and you just
select the desired replacement.

Subject: atw: Unwanted paragraph styles
I'm converting a long document from PageMaker to FrameMaker. I've exported
the text from PageMaker to RTF so that I can manipulate it in Word on the
way to FrameMaker. In Word, I've created paragraph styles with the same
names as our FrameMaker styles and done a find-and-replace to change the
headings and most of the body text to the FrameMaker style-names. However,
many paragraphs still use numerous other styles.
Is there a quick and thorough way to find those remaining paragraphs, either
in Word or FrameMaker? I thought I could generate a list (or index) of
paragraph style-names in FrameMaker, but it seems I was thinking of the
feature where you generate a list of paragraph _text_.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig
