How do I delete a custom created Auto Text Group and associated Paragraph Style?
I experimented with creating a new Paragraph Style in order to create a
customised Auto Text Group, which all went OK. I have subsequently tried to delete my new PS in order to delete the ATG by following the built in help, Delete styles Do one of the following: Delete a style 1. If the Styles and Formatting task pane is not open, click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar. 2. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, right-click the style you want to delete, and then click Delete. However I am unable to clear my test group from the AT dropdown. Is there another way to do this? TIA Chris |

In fact, the existence (or not) of the style has nothing to do with whether the group and its contents continue to exist; the style is needed only to create more entries in the group. Once the entries are created in the template, the only way to remove the group is to delete all the entries that belong to the group. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
