You can use Find and Replace to search for specific formatting and replace
it with a specific style. If you had Word 2002 or above, it would be even
easier, as later versions allow you to select all instances of specific
formatting.

Is it possible to write a macro in Word 2000 to assign
styles in a document? For example, if a client gives me an
unformatted document and I want to assign "Header 1" to
every line that's 14pt/all caps/bold italic/12 points
after/keep with next, "Header 2" to every line that's
12pt/u&lc/bold/6 points after, etc., is that possible? Any
tips to automate formatting super-long documents are
helpful. I spend an inordinate amount of time clicking the
cursor on a line and assigning a style...even with a
keyboard shortcut, it takes a long time.
