Conditional Calculations in Word
You can determine the number of styles available in a document (when creating a VBA macro) by using the Count property with the Styles object. This is done using the following syntax:
x = ActiveDocument.Styles.Count
where x is the variable you can then use in other VBA macro lines. Note that this function indicates how many have been defined, not how many of those are actually in use. This means that built-in styles are also counted. If you want to exclude built-in styles, you can do an actual iterative count of the styles in this manner:
x = 0
For Each objStyle in ActiveDocument.Styles
If Not objStyle.BuiltIn Then x = x + 1
Next objStyle
