Deleting styles
I use OCR software to get faxed or mailed documents into Word 2003. This works quite well,
requiring not too much editing. But I am left with as many as 50 styles, created by the OCR. Not difficult to highlight the whole document and change it all to normal and then go through and pick up italics or bold, etc. But the styles stay alive, and to remove them one at a time -- including the "Do you want to . . ." box -- is tedious. Is there a faster way? rs |
