This option appears in Style pane Options dialog box.
Could you please give me an example on how it works?

You can assign an alias (or "alternate name") to a style. Open the Modify
Style dialog, and at the end of the style's name type a comma followed by
the desired alias. You might want to do this to make the built-in style
names describe what they're used for in this particular template or
document. For example, you could change "Heading 1" to "Heading 1,Topic
Heading".

The option you asked about tells Word to show only the alias in the Styles
pane and in the Quick Styles gallery. In the example, you would see only
"Topic Heading".

I had tried "Heading 1 Topic Heading" and "Heading 1+Topic Heading", that's
why it didn't work on my side...
Following your example (comma separated alt name) I saw the light!

Thanks

Indeed, when you create the alias you must use whatever character has been
defined as the list separator for the operating system (in Control Panel).
