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?

Default Delete Style Set

Hi Graham,

I noticed exactly the same problem last night, and I don't have any
solution for it either. To verify that it's the same, the style set
name I see begins with "Kitts and Nevis1-866-745 ...."

On the theory that something else we both installed caused it, the
likely culprits in my case are Office 2010 RTM and Visual Studio 2010.
Does that match your situation?

Should you be looking for a "St." before "Kitts and Nevis" in order to
get the entire name of whatever it is? And clearly there should be a
string of numbers either before St. Kitts or after Sweden (depending
which way the numbers line up with the names).

This is what is called a "feature" that is added to Office 2007 when the RTM
version of Office 2010 is installed on the same machine.

Maybe it was meant to be an "Easter Egg" like those that appeared in some
earlier versions of software when a unique combination of steps were taken.

name I see begins with "Kitts and Nevis1-866-745 ...."


On the theory that something else we both installed caused it, the
likely culprits in my case are Office 2010 RTM and Visual Studio 2010.
Does that match your situation?

System quick styles are stored as dotx files in C:\Program

Office\Office12\1033\QuickStyles (where 1033) is the language code. If

remove that folder, only the errant style set remains.


I have repaired office 2007, removed the normal template, reset the

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?

This is what is called a "feature" that is added to Office 2007 when the
RTM version of Office 2010 is installed on the same machine.

Maybe it was meant to be an "Easter Egg" like those that appeared in some
earlier versions of software when a unique combination of steps were
taken. Google for "Software Easter Eggs"

Should you be looking for a "St." before "Kitts and Nevis" in order to
get the entire name of whatever it is? And clearly there should be a
string of numbers either before St. Kitts or after Sweden (depending
which way the numbers line up with the names).

Hi Graham,

I noticed exactly the same problem last night, and I don't have any
solution for it either. To verify that it's the same, the style set
name I see begins with "Kitts and Nevis1-866-745 ...."

On the theory that something else we both installed caused it, the
likely culprits in my case are Office 2010 RTM and Visual Studio 2010.

I've had the exact same problem for years, and can't seem to find any solution for deleting the pair of Style Sets at the top of the drop down menu.
