Updating Styles in Word 2003

[Guest]

I just installed Office 2003 on my Windows XP Home machine. With Word in
Office 97, if I changed the style on a paragraph and then clicked on the
style name, I got the choice to update the style based on the changes. I
don't see that option in Word in Office 2003. Am I missing it? If it's not
there, what's the easiest way to update a style?

They ruined it, right? With the styles & formatting task pane on at the
right, you edit a paragraph format, and you'll see the same style appear
again, so something like:
Heading1
Heading1+Red
Now, right-click the heading1 and choose "Update to match selection".
Sucks.

On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Prompt to update
style." This will restore the old functionality.
