Word: deleting unused styles

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/06

Ever since I started using Word, I thought that deleting unused styles was hard.

And it was in Word 2000: WD2000: How to Remove Unused Standard Styles from a Document.

And people still think it is complicted in Word 2010: Word 2010 – How does one remove any unused styles in a document – – Microsoft Community.

But in fact it is very simple.

Instructions via How to Delete All Unused Styles in Word Document | eHow.com:

  1. Click the “Home” tab in Word.
  2. Click the “Styles” icon in the bottom-right corner of the Styles group. Alternatively, press the Ctrl, Alt, Shift and S keys at the same time. This opens the Styles task pane.
  3. Click the “Options” link at the bottom of the Styles task pane.
  4. Click the drop-down box beneath “Select Styles to Show.” Select “In Use.” This deletes all unused styles in the Word document.
  5. Click “OK.” The unused styles in the Styles task pane should be gone when you return to your document.
