Is there any way to “Remove all styles not in use in the current document” or whatever.
I recently “inherited” an almost 100 page document. This had originally be written by about a dozen people and pieced together to form a “Handbook”. Most of the original authors had no idea of how to format, etc. and used tons of makeshift things to get their part of the document to appear correct. Now, with the revision I am doing, I removed all of their makeshift formatting and reformatted it with headings, proper paragraph spacing, bullets and numbering, etc. This has made it a much nicer document and, of course, when editing, things don’t seem to suddenly go haywire.
My problem is that in the style box, there must be at least 150 different entries. At least. I know I can delete each style individually but to do all of these would be a real pain. I am wondering if there is some way I can do this in one fell swoop. I tried Control+A, Control +C and then pasting into a new document and then saving it with a different name, The new document had all the unused styles transferred with it.
I am also curious. Do all these styles make it a larger document. It is now about 4 MG and it seems way too big. Yes, I have pictures in it. But I pasted them in as JPGs and then, to try to make them even smaller, I used the compress picture feature. All the pictures are also in grayscale.
Thanks for any and all help anyone can give me
