That's totally different. The one I described gets its styles from the
template you're using; the one you're talking about is document-specific
(and I access that one by changing a paragraph, click-and Enter in the
style name drop-down box, and selecting "Update the style to reflect recent
changes").
Try it; I suspect you'll like it.
