I am trying to add styles to a document through vba code. (I am only doing it
this way since .Organizercopy in vba requires the destination doc to be saved
local first...which I still don't have a work around.)

In vba, I have created "_Journal font" style to be my "base" style. All
attributes are defined explicitly in code.

Then I add another style (in vba):
Application.ActiveDocument.Styles.Add Name:="_Document", _
Type:=wdStyleTypeParagraphOnly
   With ActiveDocument.Styles("_Document")
       .AutomaticallyUpdate = False
       .BaseStyle = "_Journal font"
       .NextParagraphStyle = "_Document"
   End With
   With ActiveDocument.Styles("_Document").ParagraphFormat
       .SpaceAfter = 10
       .LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceSingle
       .FirstLineIndent = InchesToPoints(0.25)
   End With

And I have only coded for those attributes that are different from the base
style "_Journal font".

Stepping through the code, I have to add it first (which adds the new style
_Document and bases it on Normal. Then when it runs the code to base it on
"_Journal font" it SAYS it is based on "_Journal font" but it still is
retaining the formatting from Normal.

It seems like useless code to add ALL of the attributes for each and every
style that I am adding - especially since they are based on another style and
may just have one small change.

Oh please HELP!
Thanks!
