Macro to remove ‘automatically update’ in styles (Word 2000)

Some time ago WOW included a macro to search all styles in a Word document and “untick” the automatically update tick box. Can anyone provide me with a copy of the VBA?

I don’t remember seeing it, but surely it can’t be much more than something along the lines of:

Sub noUpdateStyles()
Dim aStyle as Style
For Each aStyle in ActiveDocument.Styles
If aStyle.Type = wdStyleTypeParagraph Then
aStyle.AutomaticallyUpdate = False
End If
Next aStyle
End Sub

…which seems to work for me. Interesting to see what the experts reckon (I’m just an enthusiastic amateur!)
