I read Susan Barnhill's response to a user (Dan ODell) with the "char char
char" style problem in Word. I understand this char style problem is
actually a result of Microsoft Word's "link style" feature which started in
Word 2002. Ms. Barnhill's reply to the user to treat the document as
"corrupt" in order to get rid of the styles is totally unacceptable. We
don't always have the time to clean up 150 (or more) page prospectuses. This
is a feature Microsoft has put into their program, they need to come up with
a solution. This "link style" feature is not helpful and is currently
causing problems in my firm. There needs to be an option to turn this off.
Please advise if you have any other workaround other than treating the
documents as corrupt. Thank you.
