To split & compile a big document with many styles

dear all,

i currently work on a big word document (about 350 pages) contains lot self-created styles. i've send parts of document to different recipients. after these recepients did update parts, send them back, , i've to incorporate these updated parts big document. main issue i'm facing concerns styles.

for creating parts recipients, split document by copy/paste (by keeping source formatting -  i don't want lose formatting) these parts into new word document , save them new file. doing this, copy/paste styles new word document. later, when recipients have updated parts , sent me, have copy/paste updated parts big document. doing this, copy/paste every style document well. thus, i've 30 different styles , 40 parts, master document ends 1200 styles!

do have suggestion how avoid this, respectively there possibility remove double styles in document or improve process?

thanks helping!

if paste files new document created big document's template, styles should there, , can regular paste.

if don't have template or template doesn't contain of styles, make copy of big document , convert template. delete content in way keeps header, footer, , page layout  of main text.

this should avoid many styles problem expecting.
