Hi Fumei,

I Agree Strict Formatting is always the way to go in general! (and easier to maintain)

It just seams the OP didn't want a long list of style-adds in the style drowpdown...that's what tracking formating does..so..

Hi,

Yeas that's a fool proof method of demanding good format's. (Real good for beginners in Word)

But that must have cost you a hell off a job to get that done...Been making my own Normal.dot a while a go with just that intention and it took me quit a while to make new menu's and get rid of the old ones...(disabeling all possible shortcut's was the most work)

Still wonder, if we can ever control word 100%.... (but do we really wan't that)..

Enjoy!
