Delete a style permanently?
I created a custom style in Word 2007. Now, I want to delete it. I can
delete the style from the document, but when I close and reopen Word 2007 the style shows up again. The Manage Styles dialog box has a checkbox that says "only in this document" and "new documents based on this template". EVEN if I check "New documents based on this template" and delete the style, the style reappears when I close and reopen Word 2007. I looked in Word 2007 help, and under "delete a style" there are no matches if I search for the term in quotes. If I remove the quotes, there are no USEFUL matches. Searching the Internet doesn't help either. There is a link to a section from a Word for Dummies book that has a solution that doesn't work (it says to right-click the style from the style gallery and click Delete. There is no such choice.) Related problem: The style I created was called "Code" and it used a fixed pitch font and smaller point size. Once inside a document, if I selected that style and typed some code, then went to a new line and selected Normal, Word kept re-selecting my Code style. The style was not un- selectable, which is REALLY annoying. Help! Thanks. David Walker |

Delete a style permanently?
"New documents based on this template" refers to transferring changes in a
style to the attached template; it won't delete the style in the template. To delete a style, you can use the Organizer dialog box. Press Alt+F8 and click the Organizer button. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DWalker07" wrote in message ... I created a custom style in Word 2007. Now, I want to delete it.

Wow. That worked well. But why in the world is that featured buried like that?

Good question.
Note that you can open the Organizer dialog box via the Styles pane: Click Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, click the Manage Styles button, click the Import/Export button. However, Word 2007 does hide certain options a little too well. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP Rashiki Jabing wrote in message ... Wow. That worked well.
