Thanks for the feature packed show. I spent significant amount of time this week working with a document prepared by another designer in the organization who only uses Character Styles. A significant amount of time was spent creating paragraph styles and running find and replace.
On the bright side, the previous designer appeared to use neither Character Styles or Paragraph styles or guides. . .
