Remove Change Styles in 07
Using Word 2007, is there a way to permanently remove the "Change Styles" in
the Styles Group on the Home tab of the Ribbon Bar? We do not want our users to use the Style Sets and the phrase 'Change Styles' looks too much like "Modify Styles." I wish it wasn't so conspicuous. We have customized the "Quick Styles" to contain the styles they use. Thank you, |

Click the dialog launcher on the Styles group (or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) to open the Styles task pane, then click the third button at the bottom to open the Manage Styles dialog. In the list of styles, select all the styles that should not be used, and click the Restrict button -- or if it would be quicker, click Select All and Restrict, then select the allowed styles and click the Permit button. Check the four boxes at the bottom (or maybe leave the one about AutoFormat unchecked). Select the "New documents based on this template" option button. When you click OK, you'll be offered the opportunity to password-protect the style settings. This won't remove the "Change Styles" button (all built-in ribbon groups are unchangeable), but all the menu items attached to it will be grayed out. -- 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. |

Very, very nice. Thank you for pointing me to that Restrict Button. That's
exactly what I needed. I clicked "Block Quick Style Set Switching" and "Block Theme or Scheme Switching" and now all is well. Thank you very much. And I shall be a benevolent dictator while maintaining control over our styles! This newsgroup is so important because many times it's the only place where I can find the answers to problems - and quickly at that. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
