Removing styles from drop down
The drop-down list of styles has way too many styles for my needs. I
want to remove most of them. I tried using Organizer from the Styles form (that's from the icon showing the little A and the big blue underlined A). I used it to remove from the current document the styles I don't want, and added from my Normal.dot the styles that I do want. But the drop-down still has all those styles I don't want. How do I get rid of them? Thanks! |

Removing styles from drop down
In the Styles and Formatting task pane, select Show: Custom. This opens a
dialog in which you can set which styles you want to be visible. This controls the Styles list as well as the task pane. -- Suzanne S.

Removing styles from drop down
....and after I select the ones I want to show, I choose from the
"Show" drop-down "Available styles". That last step seems to be what activates this filtering. I had to fiddle to finally see that part. Thanks so much! On May 9, 12:41 pm, "Suzanne S.

Removing styles from drop down
Yes, I didn't tell you the last step because I wasn't sure of it myself. The
Styles dropdown ordinarily (and always in earlier versions that don't have the task pane) displays "Styles in use," and that is what I prefer, since I want styles I explicitly select (even if they aren't in the list to begin with) to be added to the list. -- Suzanne S.
