removing styles across multiple documents

[jd_editor]

Using Microsoft Word 2003. Can I globally remove styles from multiple
documents?

I have multiple (hundreds) documents modified by numerous people. The
documents now have a lot of different styles and I am trying to implement one
consistent set of styles and then use style locking to enforce it. But I
don't want to clean up the documents one by one. Is there a way to do it
across documents or globally?

No. Best you could do would be a macro. Perhaps one that would loop through all
the styles and delete all but those you want to use...
