Hi CharlzNine,

Your reply suggests you didn't do as the advice given to Cobb78 suggested, which entailed making an edit with WordPad. As for the other macro packages, you're welcome to use them if that's what you prefer.

Your belief that Word could strip all Styles shows a basic lack of understanding of how Word works. Every document must use at least one Style (typically, Normal). The foregoing discussion in this thread shows how it can be done without "a purchased macro package".
