   ■ If the information in the Key Code, Style
     Type, Remark, and Style I.D. boxes is
     correct for the style you want to change,
     choose OK.
   ■ If the information is incorrect, select the
     style I.D. for the style you want to change,
     and then choose OK.
5. If Word displays a message asking if you want
   to replace the existing style, choose OK.
