I get the feeling that it might be possible to write Styles in macro form.

Unlike Classic NW macro, so-called Perl *macro* can do almost nothing in handling styled text unless you process RTF raw code directly. I have written some scripts including Smart Quotes macro which works on an rtf file saved by NWExp. If you are interested in it, please see

As to Style macro, you to do something like this with a menu command macro.

Palatino
18
Plain Text
Bold
Italic

As you see, it apply "Palatino 18pt Bold Italic" on selected text. "Plain Text" is needed here because Bold, Italic and some other commands are toggle commands -- in other words, Italic changes Regular style to Italic and Italic to Regular. You cannot apply a colour because there's no colour menu. And from Format:Font, some typefaces are inaccessible, e.g. Optima ExtraBlack. They should add typeface submenu to Fontmenu.
