I am not surprised that others use the notebook method. However, when I suggested more or less the same thing earlier, I forgot to mention that when you do use a style a lot, it gets an 'F' for Favorite shown in the first column of the list of Styles. I am not exactly sure what is the criteria for gaining that Fav notation but the ones shown on my list are certainly those I like to use.

You will also see that the Style button is split and on the bottom half of the button there are "various ways to choose a style" and one of these is "Favorite Styles".
