paragraph next to that paragraph and print out the information.

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
