Hi Andy,

As Jules mentioned you can save customized Quick Style Sets in .dotx templates

1. From Home=Styles=Change Styles=Style Set
use
'Save as Quick Style set'
and give your new style set a name, such as
Andy's Quick Style Set

2. Go back to Home=Styles=Change Styles=Style Set
and select your new Style set.

3. In the Quick Style gallery right click any style you don't want included and Remove it from the Gallery.

4. Repeat Step 1 to save your changes.

5. Use Home tab=Styles=Change Styles=Set as Default

When you restart Word your selections should be what populates the gallery.

thanks for the tip.

Because I have pruned out most of the unnecessary styles from my document,
it only seems to show the ones I want so this works for me

though why there isn't a simple way to do this with the quick style gallery
is a mystery.
