Disabling Styles and Formating

[Nick Miller]

Is there a way using a VBA script to disable the "Styles and Formating"
toolbar and button?

This will do it:
Sub DisableFormattingToolbar()

CommandBars("Formatting").Enabled = False

End Sub

tj

If you are using Word 2003 you can use the new Document Protection
features that will allow you to set formatting restrictions.

Otherwise you can remove the command or intercept it with VBA but
macros are easily bypassed.

Is there also a way to disable the "Styles and Formatting" from the "Task
Pane" in Word 2003 or other versions of Word that might have this side "Task
Pane"?

Thanks,
Nick

I have it now where the "Formatting and Styles" are disabled.

But how can I make it so that "Formatting and Styles" disapears from the
"Format" drop down menu and also from appearing in the drop down menu on the
"Format Pane."

Unfortunately that will disable the Formatting toolbar. You can still
display the Styles and Formatting task pane.

Customize the toolbar for the template or document and remove the
commands.
