The truth is, I'm not interested at this point to "save the world," once and for all create a clean, professionally formatted, properly-styled file... Nobody is paying me for this, and the next time the club will be making major changes could be years from now...
There are all kind of variants within the text, like underlined words here and there, or bolded, or italicized, all caps, etc. I'm not in a position to change those attributes (in a way, this is a LEGAL document), so I'm very careful not to deal with paragraph styles that would affect the text itself in any way, beyond what I already did, namely, create a better consistency when it comes to number of typefaces (I got the original file with 7, I now have 2) and sizes used.
