so, if i wanted to do that to, say, my team... could i write an
application level macro that would check for and remove those buttons
and menu items every time they start word? (then i could hide it in the
normal.dot that i would distribute, and they would be forced to use
styles. bwaaaahahahahahaha...)

Lists are always set by template. If not, Word guesses. If you control
lists
by styles, then controlling styles also helps control lists. My articles
highly recommend removing formatting and manual list options from the
GUI
altogether. Mind you, it is all good heresy!

Hi All
This is interesting:
<More likely some users have the Track formatting options on and are
spontaneously causing it. Word 2003 is a must have as you can lock down
styles to those from the template!>
I saw a brief reference to locking styles when flicking through a recent
Word manual. What does this new function actually do? Does it also apply
to
outline numbered styles? Joy oh joy if it can stop rogue users muddling
numbered paragraph styles.

Unstable because of the char char fix? Not specifically, as part of any
indepth reformat once I have the applied styles right in the target
document
I maggie straight away.
I am hoping the automaggie article will pass peer review soon.

Hi All:
Ah, I found the code and Mr Hudson's reworking, which only needs a minor
co=3D
rrection.
A multitude of docs of one specific type here are char-char'd. We only
have=3D
Word 97 here, so I assume someone a few months ago took one of the
earlies=3D
t ones home to work on in a later version of Word, and it has been used
as =3D
a master or template since, spreading its char-charness throughout the
worl=3D
d.
Can anyone tell me if these documents are now unstable? If so I'll email
my=3D
colleagues and suggest they clean up their work with the code. But I
don't=3D
want to spread fear and panic--and look like a knob in the process--if
the=3D
char-char is merely annoying. As usual, most people here have only
vaguest=3D
idea of styles, and have not even noticed the style gremlins.
Garry
