Word Troubles

["Jonny Benjamin" <jonnyben -at- gmail -dot- com>]

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
