Hi Klaus:

Thank you for this, but mine crashed... it never addressed the style I was
trying to get rid of (I have a reoccurring problem with certain styles
popping up (usually a font/indent oddity created by someone else) and I'm
unable to erase them). It crashed at teh 'no list' style and gave me a
run-time '4198' error. When I click debug, it highlights the myStyle.Delete
line of code.

I usually select all instances of the offending Word-created style and just
hit delete, but once in a while, there are these buggy ones that linger and
they drive me crazy. I try to select them, and nothing selects. I try to
delete the style and nothing happens.

I'm wondering if anyone knows another way?

My offenders a 10 pt, Befo 0 pt; 10 pt, Bold, left: .83" space before
0 pt and their bold brethren.

I've scoured these groups to try to solve this, and it is driving me batty.
Any help would be great!
