Default styles location in drop down on formatting toolbar

Thanks for the suggestion Jay. This is closer but... no cigar. I tested by
renaming one style as you suggested. It did move to the top of the style
organizer window, but not to the top of the list in the drop down on the
formatting toolbar.

Other ideas would be welcomed.

Rename those styles to have an underscore at the beginning, like _MyStyle.
Those will sort to the top of the list.

Is there a way in W97 to move selected styles to the top of the list
in the drop down box on the formatting toolbar? Here's why this would
help us.

There are 30+ users who are now working with newly created styles.
All these styles are bunched together in the drop down menu from the
formating toolbar since their names start with the same 1st 2
letters. However, they appear far below many other styles in the drop
down menu. When the user needs to apply one of the styles, they
always have to scroll down. It would save their time if they could
always be at the top of the list. If this is not possible, is there
any other way to create a customized button with a drop down that
contains styles we choose to put into it.

Ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
