Word styles

[Charles Moore]

Using Word 2003, I have created a document by combining several other
documents by cutting and pasting from the source documents to my document.
With each paste, the styles list grows and grows. I have reformatted the
resulting document so that only a very few styles remain in use. Is there
any easy way to purge the unused styles? I have tried the "Organizer" from
the Styles menu but it didn't seem to do anything. There are far too many to
delete one by one by hand! Is there anything like AutoCAD's "purge" command
that goes through a drawing file and deletes all layers, blocks, etc. that
are not used in the drawing?
Suggestions?

Well, you can make styles "invisible", but I don't know of a way t
delete an entire group of styles. If you simply want them removed fro
yr visible list, go to the Styles pane, Show [Custom...] (under th
list), and tick only the ones you need to see
