delete all styles but to keep the font, bold etc. format

Remove the comment from the "Next i" line
Remove the comment from the "On Error GoTo ERR_HANDLER" line

That's what keeps you looping through all the styles and resets your error handler.

You'll definitely want to test this code on different documents, as it can potentially cause issues with loss of direct formatting, character styles on top of paragraph styles, etc.

But in general, it's going to work for you. You didn't post the StripStyleKeepFormatting function, but that should also stay as it was, I believe.

Hi my friend Frosty, the code didn't work, but I appreciated your help. I'D also like to say that I wasn't cross-posting once the address provided is not a thread created by myself. Actually it's just a similar one that I found created for somebody else. I just thought it would be helpfull as a sample. The etiquette u provided me tells it is not good s person whom opens lots of threads to try to get a faster answer, so it did not applies to me for the reason above. Now, I really could provided the address between URL URL code, I just didint because I use to copy and past at my office because the server blocks links.
