Hmm...that's too bad. I hope they get that bug resolved or that I can
figure out how to bring up that dialog with VBA. I like it.

That's the only dialog box I know of that provides you with the
choice. In previous versions I used the Styles pane and selected
"Update style name to match selection" when I wanted to update the
style. In Word 2007 you can also right-click the style in the Quick
Style gallery and use the Update command. (There are several places
you'll find this command.)
What I find handy about using this method is it will update the style
and apply it if it's not already applied. I also use this for
removing direct formatting in documents and replacing it with styles.
First I'll use the "Select text with Similar formatting command"
(available when you right-click a paragraph - depending on the
version you're using it's under the Styles menu when you
right-click), and then use the Update Style command. If the user was
consistent with their direct formatting this process is fairly quick.

Personally, I leave the Prompt To Update Styles turned off since
styles are
so easy to update these days.

I don't know that much about styles because I rarely use Word for
anything. I just like figuring out how it works ;-)

Is there a way to open the same dialog that "Prompt to update style"
provides? I like how it gives you the option to update the style to
match the selection or to reapply the style all in one place.
