SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word, you can display the style names used in a document as a view option only. There is no built-in feature that inserts the style name of each paragraph next to that paragraph and print out the information.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
This sample macro inserts the applied paragraph style name at the beginning of each paragraph in the document. The document can then be printed for reference purposes.

NOTE: This macro will change the text in your document. Therefore, you should run it on a backup copy of your document (rename the document and run the macro in the renamed document).

   Sub InsertStyleNames()
      ' This example inserts the style name at the beginning of every
      ' paragraph in the active document.
      Dim para As Object
      ' Move to beginning of document.
      Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
      For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
         ' Move cursor to beginning of line.
         Selection.HomeKey wdLine
         ' Inserts the style name and >> characters.
         Selection.TypeText para.Style & ">>"
         ' Move to next paragraph.
         Selection.Move wdParagraph
      Next para
   End Sub
