If Andy was just looking for a way to make it appear when appropriate,
however, the "Prompt" setting will do the trick.

Ah. *That* "Modify Style" dialog. While you can use the Prompt option to
force it under some circumstances, I don't believe there is a built-in
command to trigger the particular box Greg asked about. I've looked and
didn't find a VBA approach either, either.

You'd only ever want to see that dialog if it contained a style variant,
in
which case, you could create a macro to apply the current base/unmodified
style, which would then trigger that dialog (unless the base style is
Normal, in which case the Modify Style dialog refuses to appear).

If I'm interpreting your question correctly, in Word 2002 and 2003,
check
the box for "Prompt to update style" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.
Herb's answer is correct if you're actually looking for the command to
open
the Modify Style dialog.

Herb,

You appear to have satisfied Andy.

I can't find the command that displays the Modify Style dialog that
presents the user with the option to reapply or update. Does such a
thing exist?
