Word has many features that can save time and hassle in formatting documents. One feature is styles.

However, there may be occasions when you need to delete existing styles from your document. You can use the Organizer to selectively delete. Since you can select multiple styles at the same time, this can be considerably more efficient than the one-at-a-time approach using the Styles dialog. To do this:

1. From the menu bar, select File - Templates
2. Click the Organizer button
3. Click the Styles tab
4. In the In list box, select the style(s) you want to delete
5. Click the Delete button

Posted April 22, 1996

When composing a document in Word, Organizer is a tool used to conveniently copy styles, autotext, toolbars, and macros between templates. Accessing Organizer can be done several ways. You can access the Organizer button from the menu bar.

• Choose File - Templates and click the Organizer button
• Choose Format - Style... and click on the Organizer button.

However, to save time, instead of opening up a dialog box, it would be more practical to be able to go straight to Organizer. To do this, you must create an icon called organizer. To create an Organizer icon:

1. From the menu bar, choose Tools - Customize
2. Click on the Toolbars Tab
3. From the Categories list select All Commands
4. From the Commands list box choose Organizer and drag it to your toolbar
5. Since there is no button image assigned to the Organizer command, Word will automatically open the Custom Button dialog box
6. Select the desired image for the button
7. Click Assign
8. Click Close

Finally, you will be able to access Organizer by just clicking on the icon.
