Hi, Jonny --

In addition to the recent discussion of templates here, there's also
been one going on at the Word Doc Design forum,
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Word_DocDesign/. You might want to
sign up, check the archives, and talk with the Word gurus there if you
don't find the specifics you're looking for.

Hi all,

In an attempt to clean up a Word document, I created a brand new
template containing the styles I need, attached a new document to this
new template and then copy and pasted the contents from the existing
manual. The new creation still carried over all the extraneous styles
that Word seems to create at whim.

What would be the best approach to create a "clean" document and why
does Word seem to create new unwanted styles as my colleages claim? In
any event, it's my job to clean them up. Alternatively, if someone could
point me to online resources dealing with this issue. (I just want to
point out that I have had the good fortune of not having to work with
Word as my main authoring tool for the past 13 years as a TW but at my
new company it is the tool of choice for all documentation needs).

Thanks,

Jonny Benjamin
