Way to apply style to * paragraphs

[LGLists]

Ah, yes, got it. Rick also brought this to my attention in a call.

My assumption is that they're not real overrides, but I'm only working in a
copy of files now, and will likely have to repeat my whole process on this
on the real files, as they are currently going through an editing phase. So,
I'm documenting all that I'm doing, so I can repeat it.

Thanks all!!!

The * shows that an override has been made - this may or may not be needed.
If you re-apply the style and discard overrides that change will be lost
forever.

Work on a copy of the file and compare old with new afterwards, or create a
PDF from the whole book and use that as your reference to spot the changes.
