Recent versions give you full control over which styles to show or hide, but
in Word 97 you will have to do this: Copy the file, not including the final
paragraph mark, into a new blank document. Only styles explicitly applied to
text will now be considered "in use" by Word. (The top three heading levels
are an exception to this rule, as they are always displayed.)
To have Word only show the styles that are in use, set the "Category" in
Format | Styles to "Styles in use."
Note: To copy the contents except for the final paragraph mark, you can
press Ctrl+A, and then Shift+Left arrow (selects), and finally Ctrl+C
(copies).

If the Styles change documents for you, you can't HELP but notice them!
Experienced users don't need the help and they become a huge hindrance.

So how do you get rid of all the Word styles that were used by the last
one
in the document? I only use styles I created and don't need to see an
endless
list of Headings. I deleted all of the ones that I could. I don't have
the
toolsoptionformatting check box--perhaps b/c I'm on 97.
Thanks!

use
them instead of trying to fight them.

How do you turn off Styles. I know you have to start with a Normal
style.
But everytime I add character or paragraph formatting a new style is
created.
The list gets longer and longer. I don't want to automatically
apply
new
styles, unless I ask for them. I've removed the check mark "Define
styles
based on your formatting" in the AutoFormat As You Type Dialog Box.
Are the Styles displayed in the Formatting Toolbar's drop-down list
the
same
as the Styles and Formatting Task Pane? I want to delete the Styles
I'm
not
using. How do I do this?
Thanks
