Dear all

I am very desperate, so I post my problem here.

I am creating a template in W2010. I want only a set of limited styles to be available for the user to select. Ideally, the styles should be selectable from the styles pane. So far nothing new I know.

What I could do:

Add the styles to the quick style pane > downside, I can not display the styles as a list, so with a selection of a few styles, it just looks horrible and is confusing the user.

Modify my styles via recommended styles and hide the ones I don't wanna display > downside, as soon the user inserts an autotext which contains a hidden style, then this style re-appears in the styles pane. After inserting some auto texts, the user ends up with a lot more styles than initially hidden. So again confusing.

Modify the styles via restriction > dowside, if I select LIMIT FORMATTING TO PERMITTED STYLES, then I get what I want, but if the user again inserts an autotext which contains a restricted style (because I don't wanna the user to use it), then obviously this style is not available and my autotext looks crap.


So, anyone can tell me what best I should do to provide the user with a set of own created styles? In the old W2003 I could create tool bars and drag the styles I wanted to it. Very easy. How to do it in W2010 in a pragmatic and user-friendly way?

Thanks a lot for all hints!
