Craig,
Many, many years ago, my father laughed at a recipe in one of my
mom's cookbooks which concluded something like, "bake for 20 minutes,
more or less, it all depends". Same thing here, it all depends, but this
time we might at least give a clue about what the dependencies are.
There are at least a couple of advantages of Create and Apply Formats in
some cases:
1) When there are lots of untagged overrides, C&A F gives you a starting
point for distinguishing formats that have overrides from those that don't
2) When the overrides fall into distinct groups, C&A F let's you
distinguish the groups without having to inspect them one at a time.

Rather than using the 'create and apply formats' feature, I'd use the 'find
paragraph override'; and 'find character overrides' search functions to find
anywhere where the tags are overridden with some other formatting. Mostly these
will be nothing meaningful, and then you can set these ranges to the default
format desired, easily done since they are highlighted by the search action.
This should allow you to get rid of the overrides that would create the
numbered formats that Lynn describes and gives you the chance to standardize
all your formats to those you've defined as desirable.
