Hiding word in built styles and displaying only the custom s

Styles and formatting · Guest

in the Hi,

In my project i have to migrate from word 2000 to 2007 fo which i need to
hide all the built in styles available in word 2007 and display only the
custom styles which i have in the template normal.dotm.
Currently what is happening is styles are available in normal.dotm but when
i open a document style pane only show me some of my custom styles not all.
Please help me.

Note : If any code needs to be written in the template then please let me
know that also.

Thanks,
Shikha

Open the template file. On the ribbon, click the Developer tab, and then
click Protect Document (in the Protect group). Click "Limit formatting to a
selection of styles." Click Settings. The dialog box allows you to choose
exactly which styles should be available. (You cannot remove the Normal
style, though; it will always be accessible.) When you are done, click OK.
Click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection, type a password if you want to, and
then click OK.

Note: If you cannot se the Developer tab, display it via Office button |
Word Options, Popular category.

Thanks for the Help Stefan it work fine ...but can you please tell if I have
to do same thing with the template (normal.dotm) then how can I achieve the
same thing.
As I want to that whenever the new document get open in any version of MS
Word by any other person only the my custom styles should be visible to him.

Will Wait for a positive response from your side.
Thanks in Advance.

To apply the settings to a template (and to all documents later created
from that template), just open the template as you would open a document,
via the Open dialog box.

Note that you may want to leave users' Normal templates alone, though, and
instead create a *custom* template that has these settings.

Since you mentioned Word 2000, I'd like to point out that restricting the
styles of a Word file is only possible with Word 2003 and later. In older
versions, the file(s) will be completely locked.
