Convert soft (style) formatting to hard formatting

Inadvertent Auto-Formatting applies styles to some cells in my tables. A co-author pastes my tables into positon in her main document, whereupon any differences between my style sheet and hers become painfully obvious.

"Convert all styles to hard formatting" was a built-in macro in ancient Word or WordPerfect (circa ver 5.0). Is its counterpart available for Word 2000?

Hi Jay,

No built-in function that I am aware of. You can try to get rid of styles
completely like this:

-- make a backup(!!!)
-- save in RTF format
-- open the file as a plain text file
-- replace \s^#^# with nothing
-- replace \s^# with nothing
-- save, close, and open the file as an RTF file

All text should be in Normal style now, with the formatting applied as
manual formatting.

Regards,
Klaus
