Use multiple style sets in the same Word document (depending on which section the style is in)

You can apply bookmarks to ranges in Word. This is similar to 'named ranges' in Excel. Basically, you just select the range and then add a bookmark.

If you used a standard way of naming the bookmark ranges then you could conceivably create a macro to reassign styles to a relevant name. There are multiple ways to write a macro like this but I would probably start with a concept along the following lines...

Code:

Dim abmk as Bookmark
For each abmk in ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
  If Left(abmk.Name,4) = "Meta" then
    'Run a series of find/replace for changeable stylenames on abmk.Range
    'where you replace 'stylename' with 'stylename & mid(abmk.Name,4)'
    ' of course this supposes that those styles already exist in document
  end if
Next abmk

Ok: that was an INCREDIBLY HELPFUL comparison. Thanks!

In your opinion, am I better off using bookmarks, or building blocks/quickparts...? I have very little experience using any of these.
