One of the things I have wanted in Word is to be able to define a
style that affected only the selected text rather than just the
paragraph.  For example, it would be useful to have a "Figure
Reference" style that could be used within a normal text paragraph,
and be able to change all figure reference formatting by just changing
the style.

At the moment, I don't know of a way to define styles for any unit
less than a paragraph, except for specialized cases like
footnote-reference.

Can someone perhaps tell me if a) there is a way to do this in 3.x and
earlier versions, or if not b) is it in 4.0?

I haven't received my upgrade yet...

Thanx

Jon
