Default Managing styles accross MSWORD docs. especially after imports.

Hi,

What's a good way to manage my styles? I typically have defined like a
Heading1 Heading2, RahulBodyText, RahulTableCaption, RahulFigureCaption etc.

Right now every time I do it with a new document I end up redefining all
these styles which is a pain! Somehow the styles seem associated with docs.
rather than a user.

I am trying to consistantly format all my docs with these styles. Problem is
I have some of my previous docs. (mine as well as from other people) that
have all kinds of strange styles defined in them. I want to reformat these
docs. before putting them in my report.

I wanted to make sure that when I copy those foreign docs. into my doc. :

(a) The formatting is consistent with MY styles not THEIRS

(b) As soon as I copy stuff from those foreign docs. my styles don't get
screwed up!

I'm especiallly worried about any name clashes for styles and how to handle
those so that my styles always overrride any others.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

-Rahul
