What I think he meant was a style which applies to character
sequences, not just paragraphs-as-wholes.  I.e. define a style called
Emphasis (equal say to "+bold") and apply it to a selected few phrases
in the document.  Redefine the style to be say "+italic" and the
chosen phrases would have their "boldness" toggled back to the
paragraph's style and their "italicness" toggled to the opposite of
the paragraph's style; the style of the paragraph itself and the
remainder of the text in the paragraph would otherwise be unaffected.
(I have no idea of whether DOS Word works like this; this is how I
think Mac Word should work.)

Hit the Set Default button in the Define Styles dialog box.  It will
save the style into the current Settings file ("Word Settings" in the
Word application folder or the System folder is what gets chosen when
you start up Word).
