MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / January 2007Need to delete multiple styles starting with same two characs?
Hi, I'm trying to write a macro in Word 2000 that will delete 20 odd styles that start with the letters CS as I've recreated the template, however, every time a user copies in data from the old template to a document based on my new template, it brings those old style starting with CS back into the document. I've tried using wildcards (see below) to delete any styles that start with the same first two letters but with no success and would appreciate any help? ActiveDocument.Styles("CS*").Delete Many thanks Alison Check the *normal.dot* users are using ... I think yr template is clean, but users have garbage in their normal.dot Krgrds, Perry > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Many thanks > Alison Hi, normal.dot not the problem unfortunately. Problem associated with old template they are pasting from that has styles starting CS... in it so need to be able to write a macro that deletes any styles that start with CS... as the problem is likely to remain for quite a while as have hundreds of documents that used old template that users will probably use as a base and opt to save as therefore bringing the styles with them. Therefore if I can write a macro to attach to a button, it can delete these styles for as long as the problem exists - just can't get the code right as doesn't seem to want me to use CS* > Check the *normal.dot* users are using ... > I think yr template is clean, but users have garbage in their normal.dot [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Many thanks > > Alison- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - In order to assist you in yr salvage work, here are a couple of articles worth looking in... http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/ResetStyles.htm http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/UpdateStyles.htm http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/CycleThruStyles.htm Krgrds, Perry > Hi, normal.dot not the problem unfortunately.
