FYI Trudie, here's a macro I recorded that deletes every instance of the
style 'Code' from a document. All that will be left (in my test, at least)
is the last Code paragraph marker, which Word doesn't delete. Of course, you
can change it to whatever style you want.

>>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.<<
I would make the teacher notes a unique style, and simply use a macro to
strip every instance of the style out of the document when you convert it to
a student version. I used to have a macro to do this, but know I can't find
it... let me know if you need help on this.
