Now, when my SD DOC is generated via XML/XSL (code) I can apply bunch of things as formatting, but I cannot make it create Specific Styles - Varying Bullets, Varying Properties (that I've marked in Red boxes) etc.

This is a limitation of the XML/XSL sheets. Wish I could do it all from there, but I cant.

Now, for POST PROCESSING I created a SS Doc to show what I really want.

Now, how I can get it to APPLY those kind of styles to the Bullets/ Multi level Outline in the entire SD Doc... Is my question?
I am not super deep Word expert.. so not sure on options 1 & 2 you mentioned.

Now, I could manually APPLY the STYLE using the Format Painter and go Painting (applying the styling) to Bullets through the entire document.. but that would be too cumbersome and time consuming and might leave inaccuracies.

Is there a way I can automate this APPLICATION of STYLES. What approach/ path might you suggest?

It need not come from SS Doc, but thats the only example I have. Unless that can be codified into "programming code" e.g. VBA etc?

I'm not sure where its 1. COPY or 2. UPDATE or both.. But I just wish to POST PROCESS my generated SD Doc, to have BULLETS / Multi level Outlines that Look and act like the ones from SS Doc.

PS: Part of the reason I did not use COPY or UPDATE or even APPLY was that I wasnt sure how these terms mean different things inside the world of "Word Styles"

I hope it was more clear what I'd like to achieve (the END) in my post processing?
Now, maybe there are WAYS and MEANS to reach that END in word / Word VBA?

Thoughts?

PS: Another issue, I was able to post earlier, but today my IP was being blocked when I tried to post this reply. So I used BetterNet VPN to post this.. Can someone fix this?
