Selectively print style definitions
I know about the option to print the style definitions in a document or
template. What I need is to do it selectively, so I get only the styles in use or the custom list of styles. Printing the style definitions includes all those HTML and strange list styles I don't use. Even better would be a way to extract the list to a spreadsheet so I can compare the styles in different templates easily. The built-in print cuts off after a few lines, so I don't see the tab settings on some of the styles with lots of definitional items. |

Another method is to save system information in Excel.
In W2003 click Help About MS Word System Info. Click the plus sign next to Office Applications MS Word 2003. Select Styles. Copy (Ctrl+A Ctrl+C) and paste the list into Excel. The first line of each font info group has most of the characteristics separated by commas. So you can parse it using Excel's text to columns feature. Even so, there could be a lot of manual cleanup, but it should be relatively easy to delete styles you don't want. And since everything is systematic, a macro might help. After you see what you can get from this method, perhaps you can ask for help in a VBA or Excel group. Let us know what you find out. A lot of us could use this information. PamC Suzanne S.

Selectively print style definitions
Once upon a time Back in Word 97 Microsoft included a file, Macros8.dot that included an interesting macro/form set named
SuperDocStatistics. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/201626 It don't recall that feature being included in Word 2000 or later, nor does it appear to be available for download from Microsoft. It can examine documents and created 'reports' (Word document tables) of selected activities/content, including a list, details of and the report of Styles in Use. Many parts of the set still work in Word 2007 (including, it appears, for example the styles in use part), while others (Grammar stats, table check and a couple of others don't work reliably, but I'm guessing that one of the Word MVP folks (or others) who frequent the group here and are wizards at macros, could perhaps be persuaded to have a look to see about get it going again to work fully on current Word versions. =============== "PamC via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:86926a0affd2c@uwe...

It is relatively straight forward to write VBA code to list styles and
their properties. To select only styles that are used then you can use the VBA property Style.InUse which is true if the style has been used in the document. However, if a style has been, but is no longer used in a document then the InUse property is still true. You can also differentiate between built-in and user created styles. To get a list of styles that are actually used in a document then a bit more effort is required. See: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...a97f0d78e67039 |
