spurious paragraph styles appearing in tables
Good to know that the old macro is still useful...
I do find it disturbing that the char styles get created even though I don't make use of the "Keep track of formatting" feature. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message news Exactly, the only place where I found them too.

The keep track of formatting has nothing to do with the creation of unlinked
styles. It just tells you when any instance of a style has direct formatting. It a report and doesn't affect the style itself. Styles break in W2002 and 3 when you apply a style to just part of a in a different style paragraph or when you paste text in one style into part of a paragraph of another style. One or both of the styles would have to be linked. We couldn't tell when a style was linked except for a brief time with W2003. BTW, MS describes the cause of char styles he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902064. But I never thought their hot fix fixed anything. I suspect that MS hides the unlinked styles because, though the linked do not represent a corrupt or damaged document, deleting an unlinked style can cause minor damage to a document and cause Word to close. (I've done so many a time, and gladly, just to get rid of the flaky styles behavior.) But to MS.) So they must think that the best way to keep users from damaging documents that are perfectly OK (as far as they are concerned) is to hide things from them. Sigh. From what I can tell, linked styles don't break in W2007. Pam Pam Stefan Blom wrote: Good to know that the old macro is still useful...

You are right: I confused two things here. :-(
However, in Word 2007, I never apply a paragraph style to a selection, and I have also selected "Disable Linked Styles" in the Styles pane, and still (as discussed earlier in this thread) I obviously get the char styles anyway. So I'd say that what is causing char styles in Word 2007 remains a mystery. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:a42fb32263d4f@uwe...

Interesting. Early on with W2007, I did everything I could think of to break
a style and couldn't. But because of all the often unannounced changes since about 2005 and because I work mainly in compatibility mode, I was loath to say that styles don't break in W2007, but I was pretty sure they didn't. I do get them in files created in W2003 and when I paste from 2003 docs into 2007. It worries me that you've gotten them.
