I may indeed still have it, but that project came and went many years ago, and all of its code went into an archive., which means that it's on either a DVD or in an online ZIP archive. Since I was thinking the other day that I'd like to resurrect it for a different use case, I've made myself a note to look for it this weekend. If I find it, I'll post a copy here.

You don't have that macro handy do you? Sounds pretty slick!

Presumably, this feature came about in Word 2007, because I don't remember seeing it in previous versions. One time, when I was still using Word 2002 (a. k. a. Word XP), I needed something similar, and resorted to creating a macro that generated a similar report, although I made mine in the form of a table, and I labeled each row with the style name, set in the style, rendered in that style. The resulting document became an artifact of the project for which I developed that template.
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
