Thank you. It's helpful to know they can't be deleted. So I'll stop
trying. Thanks for the cite to the Shauna Kelly article. That was
great and helped a lot. I'm getting my template in better shape each
time. Once I have my levels and numbering set up, then I'll move on
to trying to get the Table of Contents to function. Thanks again.

You cannot delete Word's built-in heading styles. You can however
regulate which styles are on view by setting the options in the
Styles task pane. See the information on heading styles and outline
numbering on fellow MVP Shauna Kelly's web site -

SO.. on to my next question: how to delete unwanted outline &
numbering Styles from my Template. Now that I can open a new
document solely from my template, that's good progress. However,
the formatting pane still has a number of styles I don't want.
Furthermore, the document seems to default to them rather than my
custom ones (although I can find my custom ones by scrolling through
the Formatting pane). Furthermore, if I accidentally stumble or
click on one of the numbering formats, it resets all my custom
outline and level settings. So I would like to delete them from
this template. But when I open the template to edit the template,
and then open the Formatting pane to access this style, I right
click on it, but "Delete" is greyed out. So apparently you can't
delete it?. If I apply that numbering style to a new paragraph in
the document, it RESETS all the custom levels I have set up. Then
"Delete" becomes an option in the formating pane. However,
selecting Delete deletes it from the document but not from the
formatting pane. It restores it to the formatting pane with the
Delete option greyed out again, while in the meantime, it does not
undo the Resetting of all my custom numbering levels.
I feel like Word is fighting me to the death on achieving a very
simple objective: setting up a reliable and predictable and
repeatable customized style of Level numbering and formatting. This
was so simple to do in WordPerfect.

Use the template you have created and create new documents from it.
You don't 'attach' it to anything.
It might help if you add the FileNewDialog command from the All
commands group to the toolbar in place of the New command. You can
copy the icon from the New command to the FileNewDialog command
which does not have one.

I am trying to create a template in Word 2003. Following
tutorials/instructions from the Word MVP Site (which is GREAT, by
the way) I have made great progress. However I am still having a
few issues. I have created my own template called "Agreement" and
customized the formatting and automated numbering styles the way I
like. When I open Agreement.dot, they all appear there as
available Styles. However, then in creating a Document, I am
having trouble to get these styles to show up as an option for my
document. Must I "Add" or "Attach" Agreement.dot to the
Normal.dot to do this? I have tried both, and have Unchecked all
other "Add" Templates, yet my Agreement.dot Styles do not appear
in the "Styles and Formatting" (Shift-F1) list. They do appear
to be available in the "Bullets and Numbering" list, but you have
said to avoid selecting them from this menu if possible.
Moreover, when I do select them from that menu, then they appear
in the "Styles and Formatting" list, but Tab stops and some of
the other formatting items of the Agreement.dot Styles change. I
have a feeling that this is the "Normal" Template messing up my
"Agreement" Template. Is there any way I can use ONLY the styles
from my Agreement Template without all the other baggage from the
Normal Template? Or Is there something else I am doing wrong?
thank you for any assistance you can provide.
