While this is true, this is not what James is talking about.  In DOS Word,
a style may be applyed to an arbitrary number of characters within a
paragraph, while the paragraph retains its overall style.

In Mac Word, only an entire paragraph can be assigned a style.  Since I've
never use DOS Word much, I don't find this to be a deficiency, just a wish
(sure would be nice!).  But, I can understand the chagrin of Mr. Preston
upon finding out that Word DOESN'T support that feature in the Mac version.

Microsoft, I like your product very much, have been using it since v1.0, but
it really would be nice if things would be supported across the machines.

This is done by clicking the DEFAULT button in the Define Styles dialog
box (or is it a window...it's hard to keep track with MWord :-) ).  If later
you want to remove it from the Default Style sheet, select the name of the
style in the Define Styles window, then choose Cut from the Edit menu.  Word
will pop up a dialog box asking you if the syle should be deleted from the
document.  Next it will ask if it should be removed from the default style
sheet.
