Styles and Formatting

[Evelyn]

Hi, I've created my own styles and formats under my normal word document that
I'm happy with. However, when I open up someone else's word document, their
own formats remain and I no longer see the formats I've saved. How can I
remove their formatting from my styles and formatting task pane and have the
file use my own formats?

Styles are a document property. If the other user used styles with the same
names as yours, you can attach your Normal.dot and check the box for
"Automatically update document styles," but this is perverting the intent of
the user.
