What do you mean by the "organizer?"

Use the Organizer. Select all styles and press delete. You'll get an
error
message, which you can ignore, for the undeletable styles.

I frequently get large documents that have existing styles embedded
into
the
text. My job is to put it into a particular format using my existing
styles
that I have set up for our company. I have been running into problems
with
the old styles still embedded from the original document. Is there a
way
to
open a document and clear it of all of its existing styles? The way I
have
been doing it is to save it as an ".rtf" and then opening it back up
in
Word.
Any tricks or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
