Default Prevent creation of new styles

These aren't really new styles. See he

(Big Idea #4--you can turn this listing off)

If you apply formatting to text then Word automatically adds a new item to
the list of formatting in use for that document. This may result in hundreds
of different but similar styles being used throughout the document.

Is it possible to turn this feature off, either on the local machine or
globally through group policies etc? Or using VBA
Or is it just a case of trying to educate users to restrict themselves to a
limited number of styles throughout the document?

thanks for your help on this.
