Is there any way of opening the Modify Styles dialogue in Word 2003 without
having to go through the wretched style list? Or, perhaps, displaying the
style list without formatting?

If you'd settle for opening the old Format | Style dialog instead of the
Styles and Formatting task pane, you can add a toolbar button or menu item
for it. Find the Style command in the Format category on the Commands tab of
Tools | Customize and drag it to a toolbar or menu.
