Does anyone know if there is a quick way to browse the ArcMap 9.2 symbol .styles without adding and viewing each .style set through the symbol selector? Is there a "master" sheet somewhere?

ESRI's symbols are font so you could use a font viewer like Fontlister (the old free 2.0 version works just fine...
You can choose the text you want to use for display (useful if your search a style for a specific phrase) but I use a character table with all the ANSI characters from Textpad so I have all the symbols/char available on screen...
Hope it helps!

Hey I was looking for that too - but I didn't even know it. 
Now I won't need to waste time playing the iterative guessing-game...

Another option is to go through the Style Manager in ArcMap.
Open ArcMap > Tools > Styles > Style Manager ... then click around to look at all your different styles.

Thanks Mike! I didn't realize there was a symbol-set preview in the manager. I was working with symbols from the Label Manager!

Sure, no problem. A neat feature in the Style Manager is that you can create styles on the spot. Just select the folder (eg Scale Bars) and then right click in the right-hand side window, expand the New option and create a new style for scale bars. This can be done with all the different elements like color ramps, marker symbols, fill symbols, etc.

There are also pdfs of most of the styles at esri style pdfs
I think the only thing missing from there at this point is the ESRI_Optimized style introduced at 9.2
