Reply To: Changing the name of every style in a document

Another way to tackle this is to create a paragraph return for each style and style it. Then you can export the InDesign document out to a word file that contains all the styles. 

I think this might be a Deke McClelland trick that I learned a while back. I haven't actually tried it because I haven't been faced with a situation that needed it or if it did need it then the editor already had their system in place.
