Based on some good advice in a different thread, I saved a Word
document as .RTF in order to remove unwanted macro code.

While this worked, when the document was opened, it had a different set
of styles defined for it than the original document.

I am quite keen to stick with the original set of styles as I use them
heavily, but my current customers are disconcerted by the Macro
security message that is being activated due to the presence of the
macro code.

I should add that the document is based on a template where all the
styles are defined and uses a macro in the creation stages to display a
form for the user to set some document properties.

Thanks in advance.
