LoGuidesStyles.oxt is a simple extension and should be installed as any other extension. Its usage is described on https://github.com/milossramek/translation-scripts/tree/master/odtclean in the last section: The extension can be used to |Highlight Character Styles| and to |Reset Character Styles|. These functions can be accessed either using a tool bar |Add On 2| or in |Tools > Add-Ons|. The rest is described below.
