This sample macro inserts the applied paragraph style name at the beginning of each paragraph in the document. The document can then be printed for reference purposes.

NOTE: This macro will change the text in your document. Therefore, you should run it on a backup copy of your document (rename the document and run the macro in the renamed document).

   Sub InsertStyleNames()
      ' This example inserts the style name at the beginning of every
      ' paragraph in the active document.
      Dim para As Object
      ' Move to beginning of document.
      Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
      For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
         ' Move cursor to beginning of line.
         Selection.HomeKey wdLine
         ' Inserts the style name and >> characters.
         Selection.TypeText para.Style & ">>"
         ' Move to next paragraph.
         Selection.Move wdParagraph
      Next para
   End Sub
