You can spend quite a bit of time getting your template and style sheet just the way you want it, then send it off to someone else only to have it return with the style list (and document formatting) in the electronic equivalent of tatters. This problem has been one that has plagued Word users for years (if not decades). She wants to build a generic template that will create a document that will lock out non-template styles. Clients paste material with formatting and styles into her documents and that can cause problems.
Dianne wonders if there is a way to create a template that will exclude any new styles from being introduced.
