Too many styles word

LJL


  • #1

I have a 250 page document in which the styles have proliferated like
rabbits. Sure, I know, at one time or another I either put them there or they
added themselves because I modified another style (some of the styles are
just modifications of a «basic» one [e.g., the basic «Bulleted list — 10 pt»
has led to «Bulleted list — 10 pt red» and «Bulleted list -10 pt Italic» and
so on]). Now I want to get rid of the great majority of them and just leave
the basic ones I want to work with. What will happen to my document if I do
this? Also, once I do get down to a few basics, how can I prevent my simple
modification of one of them [e.g., changing the font to red] from adding a
new style to my list?

Your help would be most appreciated.

Down at the bottom of the Styles & Formatting pane there’s a «More»
button.. In there are a bunch of options for which styles will be
displayed in your drop-down and in the pane itself.

If you really want to delete some of those annoying character styles,
(in Word2003) go to Tools > Templates & Add-Ins > Organizer, and on
the left is a window with all the styles in your document. Delete them
from there. (I also once got that panel some other way, possibly
directly from Styles & Formatting.)

What you’re seeing are not «styles» but «formatting.» On the Edit tab of
Tools | Options, clear the check box for «Keep track of formatting.»

Aha. Thank you; I appreciate your help. I’ve cleared that check box.

Maximum Number Of Styles-Based-On?


I have a template which has a number of styles based on other styles.

Now, whenever I use a document based on that template, any time I try to create ANY style in the document — even trying one based on the Normal style — I get the «The style you want to create is based on too many styles» message.

I get the message even when I try to update one of the existing styles in the document (using the «Update <existing style> to match selection» popup menu item).

Is this a known limitation? Or have I done something wrong?

IIRC the maximum Style nesting is 10. You will get that message if you try to nest styles in 11 levels or more (i.e. Style 11 is based on Style 10 which is based on Style 9 which is based on Style 8 which is based on Style 7 which is based on Style 6 which is based on Style 5 which is based on Style 4 which is based on Style 3 which is based on Style 2 which is based on Style 1).

It’s also possible you’d get such a message if the document has some form of corruption that Word interprets as an excessive number of nested Styles.

corruption of the document seems a serious possibility.

What happens if you try and create a Style based on No Style, not even Normal? BTW, this is actually a good practice. It allows you to be a lot more precise in how your nesting cascades if you start with your own starting point.

Confirming your recollection, in Word 2010 I get the message at attempting to create a new style when a style at level 11 is already applied. That is, the maximum nesting is 10. Level 11 can be created because that represents 10 levels of nesting. Level 12 cannot be created.

Getting the error message depends on which style is applied at the insertion point when the «New Style» button is pressed.

Try creating the new style when the style in use is at a lower level. For example, apply the normal style to your paragraph and then attempt to create a new style.

If you attempt to create a new style, Word assumes it is to be based on the style currently being used. If that one is already 10 levels deep, you will not even get to the dialog to change the based-on style.

Thanks Charles — the problem isn’t trying to go to a style at level 11. What I have is:

— a bullet style, 1-9, with each inheriting from the one lower.
— a text style, 1-9, with each inheriting from the one lower.
— for each of the above, there are actually two styles — one with no spacing after it, and one with a line’s worth.

So that’s 36 user-created styles I have, and no more than 9 levels of inheritance in any of them.

But when I try to create another style — based on ANYTHING, including Normal, I get the ‘too many styles’ error. I even get it when I try to «Update <style name> to match selection», which wouldn’t result in a new style at all.

Corrupt documents can often be ‘repaired’ by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template (headers & footers may need to be copied separately), closing the old document and saving the new one over it.

in this case, though, I’m not sure that will solve a Style-based corruption. To fix that, you may need to:
• save the document in RTF format;
• open it in WordPad;
• make an edit in Wordpad (e.g. insert a space);
• save the document & exit Wordpad;
• re-open in Word.
This process should remove all Style data from the document, though the formatting will be retained. Assuming the problem isn’t in the document template, you should now be able to re-attach the Styles.

I am still curious to know if you can create a style based on No Style.

No one is saying that it is not possible, in a properly functioning document, to create a new style based on no style.

The problem, in recent versions of Word is that if you get this message, you do not get the opportunity to change the based-on setting if you are starting from a style that already has ten levels of nesting. In Word 2003 you would see this error message and then the new style dialog would pop up with a blank where the based-on style is. In Word 2010 & 2013 what happens is that you get the message and then are returned to the document. You never see the dialog that you posted.

This is apparently what is happening to the OP whenever he/she tries to create a new style regardless of the number of levels in the current style. (i.e., starting from the normal style)

My point was that:

is not accurate. You CAN still create a style.

And my point is that Pluviouville is reporting that it is not possible. I am accepting this as an accurate report of the user’s experience in that document. Paul pointed out earlier that this may be due to document corruption.

Further, if you are attempting to create a new style and your cursor is in text formatted with a style already nested ten-deep, you will not be able to create a new style in Word 2007-2013. You could in Word 2003; the modify style dialog would be launched with no style being shown as the based-on style. That does not happen in the ribbon versions.

  • too many styles

    I am working in Word 2003 in a large document, and I assigned styles for Headings (for the TOC) and for text blocks. I turned off the “auto-Update” box (or so I thought: Word still seems to change fonts, margins etc…), and I assigned my names to the styles, so I will know what to use.
    1st problem – assigning names.
    2nd problem – CAN YOU ERRASE STYLES FROM THE LIST?
    3rd: can you make a short list to be used in one doc, and get rid of the rest of endless Word Styles, or call on only certain ones (I needed “Captions – but cannot make it stay centered…)?
    THANKS!

  • We’re sorry Aspose doesn’t work properply without JavaScript enabled.

    Is it possible to use more than one style in a single paragraph in MS Word? Ideally, I would like each new paragraph to start with an outline number, then a bold/underlined heading, followed by unstylized text.

    E.g.,

    1. Section One. Regular body text goes here.

    When I attempt to use more than one style within a paragraph, the entire paragraph appears to automatically change to whatever style I select from the drop-down menu.

    If this question is better suited for another StackExchange forum, I’d appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

    I rewrite condo and association documents from photographed pictures of those documents. Although my versions may not be legal copies, they are more granularly organized and searchable.

    For those instances in which the original text says something like:

    20.1 Determination of Common Expenses. The Association, through
    its Board of Directors, shall …

    I have a style, Heading 3, that in this case is bold and numbered, while the subsequent physical paragraph is neither. I accomplish this by separating the Heading 3 style text from the rest of the physical paragraph using a hidden paragraph mark:

    • Hit Enter/Return to create a paragraph mark, then select only the paragraph mark and change its Format to Hidden [Alt+o>f, toggle Hidden].

    This separation paragraph mark solves styles’ requirement for headings to be in their own paragraph, and allows the heading to be on the same line as the rest of the paragraph when printed or saved as a PDF file.

    When Show/hide is toggled ON, paragraph marks and hidden text are displayed; when toggled off, these disappear and the pages render as they will be seen when printed.

    I’ve used this «inline styles» method since Word 2000; now in Word 2010.

    I know it’s a long time since the original question was posted, and there is already a brief reference above to the beautiful (virtually unkown) feature in WORD called the «Style Separator» which allows you to separates multiple styles on the same physical line.

    This has a really big advantage over the character style solution proposed earlier as it is effectively an end-of-paragraph without the line feed. One powerful consequence of this is that you can append text in a non-heading style to a heading, thereby extending the heading with ‘supplementary’ information, but not including the supplementary information in the Table of Contents.

    I’ve added «Style Separator» to my Quick Access toolbar. In the customise dialog, select «All commands» and scroll down to «Style Separator» then put it into the the Quick Access toolbar. Hey presto — you’re ready to go!

    At the time of my writing this reply, there’s a demo of the feature on a youtube clip at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iviwxx95RbA.

    Would this allow me to create a table of contents that only displays the «Section One» but not the body text?

    It depends on what you want to appear where. Rather than styles or style separators, you could use some nested fields, roughly as follows:

    1. { SET t1 { SEQ h } }{ SET t2 «Section { REF t1 Cardtext Firstcap }» }{ REF t2 *Charformat }{ TC { REF t2 } }. your paragraph text.

    where you apply the formatting you want for «Section One» to the » R» or the REF t2 field. These fields can be saved as an autotext and re-used, but you will need to update the field results (e.g. ctrl-A then F9) before updating the ToC field, which could be like this:
    { TOC f h z }

    Ideally you would just be able to use { SET t1 «Section { SEQ h Cardtext Firstcap }» }{ REF t1 *Charformat }{ TC { REF t1 } }, or something even simpler, but I think the SEQ fields will misbehave if you do that.

      Solved: Too Many Styles!!

      I received a document from one of the guys at work a few years ago and now we are updating the information. I saw there was a lot of styles defined, and deleted them all so I could create and name my own.

      The problem I have is that any time I format a new style is defined and shows up as an available style. I only want styles I define to show up as available. I don’t want bold to show up just because I happen to make one word bold.

      What do I need to turn OFF?

      I don’t have a English version off Office so I’ll try to guide you to the right setting.

      There is a number off things that could be going on in you’re Word.
      One thing is that you manualy press Bold feature and you can read that back in the Styles dropdown (Toolbar) like: Normal + Bold (or something)

      Showing of these formats can be removed bij going to Tools/Options/Edit/Track formatting (or something like that) (mine is the fifth checkbox om the second column)

      Otherwise you could mean that the style gets updated to the font changes you made to text that was formated with a particular STYLE.

      In that case «Automatic Update» of the style is properbly on. Go to the properties of the style en remove the check on the checkbox «Automatic Update».

      Enjoy!

      I would like to point out that making one word bold is a misuse of styles. You should never do ANYTHING that changes a defined paragraph style. If you want to have one word bold, make a CHARACTER style — named, say, BOLDED. That way, you can use it anywhere, and it will take on the style of the paragraph, just bolded.

      I wasn’t trying to Gerry, the application was giving all sorts of NEW names as I was formatting the document. All is working well now.


    7. 04-08-2005, 01:01 PM


      #7

      Yeah, it DOES give new names to any manual formatting. It is a silly way of doing it IMHO. You get this humungous dropdown list of every single manual format change a user has done. Dumb and annoying.

      That is why I remove, as much as possible, the ability to even make any manual formatting for our documents. They use styles, paragraph styles, character styles, list styles and table styles. All font, font size, bolds, underlines, and paragraph format menus and shortcut keys are disabled.

      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)..

    One solution — don’t do that.

    Microsoft wrote both IE and MS Word, IE will be looking at the same code generated.

    So what do you mean that you get too many styles, is that an error message, or you just don’t like the generated code, or that the generated code does not work.

    I don’t get any errors and generated code works. But the generated code overcomplicates the basic styles. E.g. I used bold feature on a word called «Hello» and and I get 50 styles added in the div field after copy-paste. Whereas in case of IE I get a clean tag around the same word «Hello». So this operation is more clean and intelligent in case of IE but in case of Firefox it just puts so much data that my field widths are on the brink of overflow!

    Would you supply the application, content, url descriptions as well as you can for each, and exactly what you are doing.

    1) source where «Hello» is being brought from
    2) target where you are pasting into with Firefox
    3) and with IE
    4) where you see the source directly in what you paste or by viewing source

    Is this a WYSIWYG editor where what you normally see is what it is going to look like when finished.

    A simple change or difference in fonts font-size could make a big difference in what is happening.

    Sure. I can. How do I attach it here? There is one sample HTML file and then i can send a sample Word document with a bold «Hello» text just to illustrate the issue.

    Extra code is one of the pitfalls of using WYSIWYG cutting and pasting,
    and using styling in general.

    So while it may be interesting to try to reduce the amount of code, there
    probably won’t be any direct approach without extra steps to get you what
    you want with bare bones code that appears as you want it to or at least acceptable.

    I guess you might have to take a screen image, clip the relevant portion, since
    you can only attach an image file here not a text file.

    Thanks folks for your help. Reply from #sctl was helpful in finding a tool for cleaning up the «garbage» ms word introduces.

    Scenario

    You receive a Word document that’s been through many hands, maybe even several different companies. It is littered with unused styles (typically with weird style names!) and you want to get rid of these styles from your full list of styles once and for all.

    Solutions

    There are several ways to get rid of unwanted styles. The method you choose depends on how many you need to get rid of, and the steps vary a little depending on whether you’re using Word 2003 or Word 2007.

    Note: You cannot delete the default styles. Well, you can, but it requires some messing around. Check this Microsoft Knowledge Base article on how to do this in Word 2000 — it should apply to later versions too, though I haven’t tried any of their suggestions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193536.

    Method 1: Delete a few styles manually

    If you only have a few styles to delete, it’s probably just as quick to do them one at a time:

    • Word 2003: Open the Styles and Formatting task pane (Format > Styles and Formatting), right-click on the style you want to delete, then select Delete.
    • Word 2007: Show the Styles window (click the dialog launcher at the lower right of the Styles group on the Home tab). right-click on the style you want to delete, then select Delete <style name>.

    Method 2: Delete many styles simultaneously

    Word 2003:

    1. Open the Styles and Formatting task pane (Format > Styles and Formatting) to display the styles (1).
    2. Go to the Show drop-down list at the bottom of the task pane and select  the Custom option (2).
    3. Click the Styles button (3) on the Format Settings window.
    4. Click the Organizer button (4) on the Style window.
    5. The Organizer window displays, listing the styles in your currently open document on the left. Select the styles you no longer want from the list on the left (use Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiples) [5], then click Delete (6).
    6. Confirm the deletion when asked.

    Word 2007:

    1. Show the Styles window (click the dialog launcher at the lower right of the Styles group on the Home tab [1]). Note: I’ve highlighted the unwanted styles (2) in the screen shot below — you won’t see this highlighting in your list!
    2. Click the Manage Styles icon (3) at the bottom of the Styles window.
    3. Click Import/Export (4) on the Edit tab in the Manage Styles window (this is equivalent to the Organizer in Word 2003).
    4. The Organizer window displays, listing the styles in your currently open document on the left. Select the styles you no longer want from the list on the left (use Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiples) [5], then click Delete (6).
    5. Confirm the deletion when asked.

    Из урока 5 и урока 12 сделан важный вывод: в рабочей области «Стили» должно быть необходимое количество стилей текста. Из моего опыта: около 15 стилей текста. Только тогда будет полноценная работа со стилями. Итак, мы должны понять, что такое «Управление стилями»?

    Причины появления лишних стилей рассмотрены на уроке 15. Давайте вспомним причины появления лишних стилей:

    1. Появление
      встроенного стиля при некоторых условиях
    2. Автоматическое
      определение нового стиля на базе встроенного
    3. Копирование
      текста из других программ
    4. Копирование
      текста, который имеет назначенный стиль, из одного документа в другой

    От первой причины мы избавились на уроке 17, когда настраивали Word, – нам не грозит появление незапланированных встроенных стилей. Вторая причина работает вне зависимости от нашего желания. Две другие причины мы просто не отрабатывали, то есть не работали с буфером обмена (урок 16).

    Скачайте документ тут и откройте его.

    Мы аккуратно работали с документом на предыдущих уроках – и тем не менее в рабочей области «Стили» появились стили текста, которые не используются, либо используются от силы один раз:

    Я внимательно рассмотрела стили текста в рабочей области «Стили» и создала такую таблицу:

    1. Перечень стилей в рабочей области «Стили»
    2. Перечень стилей, которые я использую в своем документе
    3. Упорядоченный перечень стилей (порядок зависит от степени важности стиля текста, от частоты использования стиля)
    (1)
    Имеющиеся
    стили
    (2)
    Используемые стили
    (3)

    Итак, пред нами стоит задача: навести порядок в корзине,
    которая называется «Рабочая область «Стили»».

    По окончании урока вы
    сможете:

    1. Рассказать,
      какие задачи решает закладка «Рекомендации» в диалоговом окне «Управление
      стилями»
    2. Скрыть
      неиспользуемые стили текста
    3. Определить
      порядок появления стилей

    1. Закладка «Рекомендации» в
    диалоговом окне «Управление стилями»

    Шаг 1. Для начала устанавливаем текстовый
    курсор на названии документа

    Шаг 2. Открываем диалоговое окно «Управление
    стилями» (кнопка, которая расположена внизу слева рабочей области «Стили», эта
    кнопка называется «Управление стилями»):

    Вызов диалогового окна Управление стилями

    Первая кнопка в этом ряду называется «Создать стиль», вторая – «Инспектор стилей». Но кнопка «Управление стилями» включает в себя возможности этих двух кнопок, поэтому первые две копки рассматривать не будем. С этим диалоговым окном мы познакомились на уроке 36, когда делали файла шаблона Normal. На этом уроке мы работали с закладкой «По умолчанию». Но сейчас нас интересует закладка «Рекомендации»:

    Управление стилями

    Я всегда призываю: учитесь читать диалоговые окна – там всё
    написано! На мой взгляд диалоговое окно «Управление стилями» очень и очень
    информативно. Но дьявол кроется в деталях.

    Управление стилями

    Делаем выводы:

    1. Число
      слева определяет место стиля текста в общем списке стилей (правда нумерация
      немного странная – после «2» идет сразу «10», но это на совести разработчиков
      программы Word).

    Мы можем переместить стиль текста в списке вверх или вниз на одно значение (если выберем стиль текста с номером «2» и нажмём кнопку «Вниз», то этот стиль получит номер «3» и соответствующее расположение).  Мы можем сделать стиль текста последним в списке или присвоить конкретное значение.

    Понять и запомнить! Порядковый номер стиля текста в общем списке стилей – это
    ПРИОРИТЕТ!

    Закройте диалоговое окно «Управление «стилями» и подведите курсор к названию стиля в рабочей области «Стили», например, выберите название стиля «Оглавление 1». Вы увидите всплывающие окно с полной характеристикой стиля (урок 4):

    Приоритет

    Я обвела слово
    «Приоритет: 40» рамкой.

    Понять и запомнить! В пределах одного
    номера стили текста сортируются по алфавиту

    Вернёмся к диалоговому
    окну «Управление стилями», закладке «Рекомендации».

    • В
      списке стилей текста присутствуют все стили, которые есть, как встроенные, так
      и созданные пользователем. Стили текста имеют три состояния:
    • видимые (кнопка «Показать»
    • скрытые до поры до времени (кнопка «Скрыть до использования»)
    • скрытые (кнопка «Скрыть»)

    Шрифт названия видимых
    стилей имеет черный, а шрифт скрытых
    стилей – светлосерый. Вы можете указать на название стиля «Без интервала», которое
    имеет чёрную окраску, но тем не менее не присутствует в рабочей области
    «Стили». Я отсылаю вас на урок 13, где мы настраивали параметры отображения рабочей
    области «Стили»:

    Параметры области стилей

    Установите режим
    «Рекомендованные» в поле «Отображаемые стили» и вы увидите вот такой список рекомендованных
    стилей плюс пользовательские стили в рабочей области «Стили»:

    Рекомендованные стили

    Давайте все-таки
    зададим режим «В текущем документе» и вернёмся к диалоговому окну «Управление
    стилями»:

    Параметры области стилей

    Теперь, после
    знакомства с закладкой «Рекомендации» диалогового окна «Управление стилями»,
    приступаем к сортировке нашего списка стилей текста.

    2. Сортировка списка стилей текста

    Можно теперь вручную
    разыскивать стили текста в списке, назначать стилям видимость или невидимость,
    назначать порядковый номер в общем списке стилей. Но мы постараемся сделать
    проще.

    Шаг 1. Выделяем все стили текста (кнопка
    «Выделить все»

    Шаг 2. Присваиваем всем стилям текста
    значение «Последний» (кнопка «Сделать последним)

    Шаг 3. Скрываем все стили (кнопка
    «Скрыть»):

    Управление стилями

    В результате получаем
    такую картину:

    Управление стилями

    Так что же произошло?
    Все в порядке. Все стили текста, кроме стилей таблиц, получили 100-тый номер и
    благополучно отправились в конец списка стилей. А вот таблицы – это особый стиль,
    которому невозможно поменять номер очереди или скрыть с глаз долой. Дело в том,
    что список стилей таблиц прячется не в рабочей области «Стили», а совсем в
    другом месте. Но о таблицах много позже. А пока примем, как данность, что в
    диалоговом окне «Управление стилями» мы найдем абсолютно все стили.

    В настоящий момент
    стили таблиц нас не интересуют. Поэтому начинаем разбираться со стилями текста
    документа.

    Напомню, какой список
    стилей нам нужен:

    Приоритет Порядок
    используемых стилей
    1 Введение
    2 Заголовок 1

    2 Заголовок 2

    2 Заголовок 3
    3 Обычный
    4 Основной
    5 Список_номер
    6 Список_6уква

    7 Список_тире

    8 Приложение
    9 Оглавление
    1
    9 Оглавление
    2

    Шаг 4. Находим название стиля «Введение» (это нетрудно, так в пределах одного номера, в данном случае последнего, названия сортируются по алфавиту:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 5. Нажимаем кнопку «Показать» и
    открываем диалоговое окно «Присвоение значения». В этом диалоговом окне
    устанавливаем значение «1»:

    Приоритет

    Нажимаем ОК, но
    остаемся в диалоговом окне «Управление стилями»

    Теперь повторяем шаги
    4 и 5 для остальных стилей текста, которые будут работать в нашем документе.

    Шаг 6. Выделяем при помощи функциональной
    клавиши Shift три первых названия стилей «Заголовок …» и в диалоговом окне
    «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «2»:

    Управление стилями

    Почему три первых
    Заголовка? А больше нам в этом документе не нужно!

    Шаг 7. Выделяем стиль «Обычный» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «3»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 8. Выделяем стиль «Основной» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «4»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 9. Выделяем стиль «Список_номер» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «5»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 10. Выделяем стиль «Список_буква» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «6»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 11. Выделяем стиль «Список_тире» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «7»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 12. Выделяем стиль «Приложение» и в
    диалоговом окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «8»:

    Управление стилями

    Шаг 13. Выделяем при помощи функциональной
    клавиши Shift два первых названия стилей «Оглавление …» и в диалоговом
    окне «Присвоение значения» устанавливаем значение «9»:

    Управление стилями

    Самое время и полюбоваться
    результатом:

    Управление стилями

    Всё вместе и всё по порядочку. И никто не сможет нам
    диктовать свою волю! Нажимаем ОК и смотрим, что получилось:

    Пользовательские стили

    Итак, в рабочей области «Стили» всего 12 стилей текста. То
    есть необходимое и достаточное количество. Мы даже можем себе позволить
    добавить ещё стилей. Например, практически наверняка, нам понадобиться стиль
    для названия приложения, который мы назовем «Приложение_Название».

    Понять и запомнить! Максимальное количество стилей, используемых в документе, должно умещаться на одну страницу рабочей области «Стили». То есть следите за тем, чтобы в рабочей области «Стили» не появлялась полоса прокрутки

    Я сделала два скриншота, чтобы вы увидели, картинку «Было — стало»:

    Теперь вы сможете:

    1. Рассказать,
      какие задачи решает закладка «Рекомендации» в диалоговом окне «Управление
      стилями»
    2. Скрыть
      неиспользуемые стили текста
    3. Определить
      порядок появления стилей
