Default STYLE PANE -- HIDING MANUAL FORMATTING

Hi,

In Word 2003, it was possible to tell Word to show only styles in the Styles
pane i.e. there were no entries for manual formatting amendments. In Word
2007, though, I haven't found a way to do this. Does anyone know of a way?

Thanks,

Click the Options link at the bottom of the Styles pane, and clear all the check
boxes in the resulting dialog under the heading "Select formatting to show as
styles".

Default STYLE PANE -- HIDING MANUAL FORMATTING

Hi,

These are grayed out in the document I'm working with but the
manual-formatting entries are still there in the Styles pane.

Am I missing something?

Maybe. Try first going to Office button Word Options Advanced Editing
options and checking the box for "Keep track of formatting". That should
enable the entries in the options dialog of the Styles pane. Clear any that
are checked. Then go back to the Word Options dialog and clear the "Keep
track of formatting" box.

If that doesn't do it, I'm out of suggestions.

I was unaware of the link between "Keep track of formatting" and the Style
pane formatting options; thanks for pointing this out. Enabling tracking made
these options available. However, they're unchecked and the styles are still
in the Style pane . . .

A simpler (though also stranger) conclusion belatedly presents itself:
someone has gone through the document I'm working with and manually given the
styles names that reflect the formatting applied. Go figure!

Thanks for your help.
