Depending on the complexity of the document it can sometimes help to Select all and assign Default or Text Body paragraph style to the document. This may lose the Heading/Subheading formatting. In some cases I have been able to download an entire text (usually from Project Gutenberg), and after removing the unwanted end of line markings change the overall style to Default or Text Body. Then I could search for the Chapter Heading and apply Style Heading 1. I was able to format war and Peace in ten minutes using that method.
well this is what I would like to avoid - though I admire your speedy fingers! I think my document is a little more complex. it has 'title', 'author', 'affiliation' and some paragraphs have extra indentation and a still smaller font.
rather than strip everything out - and lose the table of contents also, I'd rather just march through and apply a style to the stubborn paragraphs which are mostly of the same type.
it won't be as fast as your record with War and Peace but still less pain.
