How do you automatically create paragraph styles from a document?

Question

Hi,(posted in general indesign as well - advised to post over here)I know I've seen this somewhere but can't for the life of me find it...How can I automatically create paragraph and character styles in an InDesign CC document? I'm sure I saw a script to do this and though I'll download that later...only i can't find it now.The scenario is that I have a document created by someone else which has lots of paragraph styles, but each one has over-rides on (so they're not really much use). I'm wanting something that will go through the document and create all the different styles that have been used.Any ideas?Thanks

HiI was given this tip to try: PerfectPrepText (http://indesignsecrets.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting.php) but couldn't get it to do what i was after unfortunately...however it did point me in the direction of something that does the trick:PowerStyles (DTP Tools - Power Styles for Adobe InDesign).Not sure if it's available for CC yet though.Thanks
