Default PREVENTING FOREIGN STYLES COMING INTO WORD

Hello Team,

I have created some templates for our staff to use and everything works very
well. None of the styles are auto update and they are based on "no other
style" which means I update each end every one individually if I need to.
Thats the way I want it.

What I can't do is prevent users from bringing in external styles when they
"cut & paste" stuff into the documents. Pretty soon the styles area looks
like a shambles with all sorts of styles that I have not created.

I'd like people to be able to paste text in, and despite me telling them to
convert their source to "TEXT ONLY" before pasting, they want to preserve
their original tables, drawings and other items, so they still manage to
inundate the styles panel with rubbish.

Any ideas on how to prevent external styles being pasted in.

Cheers

Peter
