When you display style lists, you can choose to display only those actually
used in the document. The setting is provided differently according to which
version of Word you have, but it's there at least since Word 2000 (might be
there for prior versions also, but my memory isn't good enough).

You can delete styles in bulk using the Organizer, but you need to know
which ones to delete. You can print a list of the styles by printing the
document, selecting Styles from the Print What drop down on the Print
dialog. So if you're really keen, print the full list of styles, then select
'Styles in use' from the formatting dialog, mark off what's now shown in the
Styles list, and delete the rest.

You can also search for, and replace, styles using Find and Replace.

Hi,

I got a document from one of our writers, which unfortunately consists of
too many unused styles out of which only a few are really used.

Simple question: Is there a way, to remove all unused styles from such a
document, since the exsistence of all of them is simply too annoying now I
have to type-set the whole thing. And: I don't like to write a macro for
that (although, if somebody knew a source for such a macro, that would be
cool, too ;-)

Thanks,

Klaus
