Styles Listing

[Guest]

Word 2000 SP3
Can the Style Listing menu be dictated by the template?
I have created a template, with all the necessary changes and new styles
required. But I would like the Style Listing box on the Formatting toolbar to
show only the Styles I want the user to see.
The “List:†menu in the Format | Style dialog does not affect the listing on
the toolbar, only the list shown in that dialog.

Many thanks in advance.

This is what Custom is for; see

Thanks for the prompt response.
I have come across Custom in 2002 (a previous work existance) but in the
Word 2000 SP3 I have here, there is no option called Custom.
Does that mean it is not posible in 2000?
Or do I need an AddIn or something?

Thanks

Sorry, I missed your reference to Word 2000; no, this is new in Word
2002/2003. In Word 2000, the only control you have over the font listing is
this: By default, Word displays Normal, Default Paragraph Font, and Headings
1-3. Other styles are added as you use them. The Font dropdown always
displays "Styles in Use." If you open Format | Style and change the view to
"Styles in Use," you can delete any font in the list except Normal, Default
Paragraph Font, and any of the built-in heading styles. The styles aren't
actually deleted, but they are reset to their default Normal.dot formatting,
and they are no longer displayed in the Styles dropdown.

Many thanks for your response. I had already done the 'delete to reset'
option. Lets hope the company upgrades soon!
