Styles Created by Word Ross from Orlando <rpayne4[ at ]cfl.rr.com> 12/1/2008 12:47:32 AM In Word 2007 I have a document with several custom styles. One of them is called "Agr Para," which is based on Normal and which has several other attributes such as justified. Whenever I modify an instance of the style (for example, increase the font size) Word creates, on the fly, a new style called "Agr Para + 14pt". Is there a way to keep Word from doing this? Thanks, Ross

Re: Styles Created by Word "PamC via OfficeKB.com" <u43222[ at ]uwe> 12/1/2008 4:53:40 AM It actually isn't a style. Styles have symbols at the right margin of the styles pane such as ¶, ¶a, and a. What you are seeing is the formatting you have applied top your styles. If you don't want to see it, in the the style pane options dialog clear the select formatting section checkboxes. (See http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_office_word/archive/2008/11/06/how-to-make-the-formatting-in-your-document-consistent.aspx for more info.)
