MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006Delete styles from menu
Hi How can I programmatically delete (or hide) styles from the Style dropdown in Word? Our corporate templates will have their own set of styles, and we want to get rid of any other styles in the menu so that users don't accidentally use them. How can I accomplish this? Thanks Chris How about setting up a custom menu that only has your styles in it? Which styles get displayed in Word's various styles displays depends on the system settings as well as which version of Word you are working with. Put it in a global, make sure that the styles actually exist in each of your document templates, and in your global, remove the Style-Built-In drop-down from the Formatting toolbar (possibly replacing it with your own).

Seems a bit clunky though :( Chris Any programming to delete or hide styles is going to be very version-dependent. Within the version, it will depend on what the user options are. Then you have to try to preserve the user options while enforcing your views. A custom style menu is a lot easier.
