I have created styles that I *SHOULD* use in specific documents.
Unfortunately, too often I'm careless and direct format a change.

Does Word offer a way to restrict or prohibit direct formatting? (I'm using
Word 2002 with SP3.)

Thank you for any suggestions that you can offer.

Very respectfully,
Larry

In Word 2003, you can limit formatting to a specific set of styles,
but in previous versions this is not possible, unfortunately.

Thanks Stefan; I guess I need to upgrade.
