In the Format Style dialog (accessible using the Styles... button at the
bottom of the Format Settings dialog in Word 2002/2003), when you display
"Styles in use," you can delete (most) unused styles. User-defined styles
are actually deleted; Word's built-in styles (except for headings, Normal,
and Default Paragraph Font) are removed from the list and reset to their
Normal.dot default definition.

I understand that once a style has been used in a Word document (or
template)
it will remain in the 'Styles in use' list even though no text is
formatted
with this style. Is there anyway of removing such styles from the list to
prevent their normal use?
