I've said as much ;-)

Maybe. Or, we could just dump the NB Tabbed UI... it is not and never can be
fully functional--so we just disappoint MS Office users.

Guess we could simply provide a "more..." and just open the Stylist (i.e. <F11>
pop open the SB deck).

Why?  The 3 column grid and scrollbar exposes the previews. Otherwise <F11>
launches the full treeview listing in the SB Styles deck.
