Default Delete Style Set

I have just noticed that I have acquired a style set in Word 2007 (but not
in Word 2010) that I have not added to the list of style sets. The style set
name is very long (longer than the width of the screen) and appears to be
part of a list of telephone numbers and locations, which I don't recognize,
but could have come from a third party document.

I have no file on the hard drive that matches the text in the style set
name. It appears to be a valid set of defined styles, which I have not
personally created.

Personal style sets are supposed to be stored as dotx files in the folder
%appdata%\Microsoft\QuickStyles, but there are no files in that folder as I
have not saved any QuickStyles

System quick styles are stored as dotx files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\1033\QuickStyles (where 1033) is the language code. If I
remove that folder, only the errant style set remains.

I have repaired office 2007, removed the normal template, reset the data key
in the registry, removed all add-ins - even started Word in its safe mode
and the damned style set remains.

Has anyone any idea how to remove it?
