Clear strong styles without posiibility of changing apperance byno-style functions
Hello!
English is not my native language, sorry Imagine this: I'v got stye "foo" that is capable of doing indention. Hovewer when i'm standing in the beginning, and I'm using backspace key, indention dissapears. I can see that this paragraph is using "foo" style with modification ( which is at least funny, because it is not using any style from apperance point of view ). This is no what i want. So there is question: Is it possible to remove all posiible functionality in word that can modify existing style "by accident"? This include font change, B/U/I, indention, tabs, etc. Imagine situation when You cannot change any of visible attributes using keyboard or menu options. The only way is to modify style. This is what i mean by "strong styles" - absolutely no way of changing apperance of style except using style modification itself. I'm not referring to issue where changing one style changes whole document. I'm talking about functionality not changing any style at all using no-style word functions. I'm confused using Word which from one perspective gives great method of controlling apeerance using styles, but from another point of view allows user to do a lot of exceptions to styles (and most of them by accident). |

Sebastian,
If you have Word 2003 you could use the Protect Document task pane, change the Editing Restrictions for the styles in section 1. This is password protection related, so I don't know if you want to go there. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Sebastian Bialy" schreef in bericht ... Hello!

This is not very good solution since I expect to just disable any formatting features except styles without setting passwords. This may confuse users (Yes, I've tried already, they dont seems to be happy). And unfortunatelly I'm still using at least two older Word licenses. If there is no way to just disable formatting using no-style functions it seems that Word is missing very important function. Writing thousand page book using Word is hard enough. |
