It will still work the same way in Word 2003 if you check the box for
"Prompt to update style" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

In Word 2000 and previous versions, you can update a style definition
simply
by selecting the style in the drop-down list from the toolbar and then
selecting "Update the style to reflect recent changes" or "Reapply the
formatting of the style to the selection." Where can I find this option in
Word 2003?
