You would need to write a VBA macro that goes through all the styles in the
template. For each one, you would need to check if it was on your approved
list. If not, then delete it. If the style is one of the built-in styles,
deleting will with throw an exception, which you will either have to handle
or ignore using on Error Resume Next. Built-in styles can't be deleted.
Once you have the macro, then you can run it also on individual documents as
well as your template. In the latter case, you would probably wanty to check
if it was in use before deleting it.
