Char Char Char Style in WORD XP

D

Dan ODell

I get WORD files and create them where the style for the entire document is
Char Char Char or a variation of it. Can't delete it can't get rid, comes
back. Is this a bug and how do I fix it.

SP 1 (or 2) for Word 2002 was supposed to cure this. Getting rid of the
styles once they've been created can be difficult. To prevent their
creation, avoid applying a style when only part of a paragraph is selected.
Either select the entire paragraph or collapse the selection to a point.
Once the document has become infested with Char Char styles, the best way to
get rid of them is to treat it as corrupt. See
