stop word from updating defined styles
In Word2003, how can you 'stop' word from creating new styles as you work on
a document? Open a 'new' doc in word2003 and the default paragraph mark is 'normal'....start typing (not applying styles here, just typing) and bold something....all of a sudden, there is a new style in the list 'normal+bold'. Type much of anything, indenting, italizing anything! and now you have a gazillion new styles. Under Tools, AutoFormat as you type, I deselected Define styles based on your formatting....but the list keeps growing....can this feature be totally disabled??? |

stop word from updating defined styles
These are not styles, just "formatting." On the Edit tab of Tools | Options,
clear the check box for "Keep track of formatting." -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne - My Thanks....a question then - why does it show up in the styles
and formatting dropdown if it is not a 'style'? "lots of questions" wrote: In Word2003, how can you 'stop' word from creating new styles as you work on a document?

Because the task pane is for "Styles and Formatting."
