So everyone knows it can be done, but we don't necessarily use it. Well, thanks to 2012, its easier than ever! Here is what you do: Open up a family in Revit 2012. Go to the app button, select export->Family. Your types have just been exported to a comma deliniated text file, which you can manage your types via excel now, AND when you load the family into a project, you get to choose the types you want to bring in...
Now, this works back up until 2010 at least, I'm not bothering to test on anything earlier, but I have verified that you can open a 2010 family in 2012, export it to a text file, and then in 2010, it works as you'd want it to!
Hope this little tip helps you out

Nice! I've always liked type catalogs, but I'll be darned to heck if they aren't a pain to produce quickly.
