I had asked Niles Associates for this feature before the last update but 
I guess they thought it more productive to include others. A related 
feature is the ability for the manuscript to remember which style was 
last used to format it. When you are writing more than one manuscript 
simultaneously it is a bit awkward to have to keep shuttling among 
the various styles.

:     ...blah blah blah blah blah.
