100 X 2 MS Word Docs

["Trudie Folsom" <tfolsom -at- sonic -dot- net>]

I've inherited 100 Word documents created by different authors, with
inconsistent styles and formatting, as supplements to online training.
Each document is used to create a second document; the primary document
contains instructor notes that are stripped to create the second
"student" version. These instructor notes are contained in either text
boxes or in one column of a table. The documents are PDF-ed and uploaded
as individual files for the instructors and students to download and
print as needed.

Is there an easier way to manage these documents? I'd like to strip the
tangled formatting and styles and find a way to make global changes when
updating these documents. A tech writing friend and teacher suggested
that I bring each Word doc into PowerPoint as a way to remove the
existing formatting to eliminate the need to create a different document
for students (the instructor notes could be entered as PP Notes that can
be hidden for students). Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
