If Robert has those formats, that would be great. I've just been looking
at the CG, and it would be a somewhat demanding job to re-create the
various styles used there. But I don't see why he should have to do all
the work. Applying Styles, with Use Style, is one of those tasks that is
just (AFAIK, but I could be wrong) a tad too demanding to be assigned to
an algorithm; it needs human eyeballs. But actually doing it isn't
rocket science; especially if one has the existing CG at hand for
comparison purposes. Why couldn't we get some volunteers to divvy up the
work of assigning the styles? E.G., A does pp 1-50, B does 51-100, and
so on. Though as busy as a one-armed paperhanger (to use another
obsolete cliché), I'll do my share.
Once that's done, people can alter it as they like, simply by changing
the Save Style definitions: make the page bigger if you want to print it
out and put it in a looseleaf book, shrink it if you'd rather have pages
2-up on a sheet. Whatever.
