I am hoping someone here can help me before I go totally nuts
Here’s the deal; I have been writing a book for over 4 years. It’s now finished. It’s in Word 2003 on a PC. I now need to simplify Word so that the book can be converted to Kindle format. I didn’t realise that I should use a Master Document right from the beginning (have never needed to before now). If you don’t do this then when the document is converted to Kindle format there are lots of mistakes and gaps where tab and space bar etc have been used. OK that’s part of the learning process. I’ll know next time.

Here’s the problem. I’m going to rebuild the doc in a master document with just three styles: Verdana 22pt, Verdana 16pt and Georgia 12p for the main text - that’s it, that’s all I need. However, when I build the doc it has loads of other fonts and styles in the style selector (some I used before) clogging up the list, so I then have to scroll just to get to my text style. All I want are the three styles, and bold and italic and be able to change quickly and easily (it’s a long document). Nothing else is necessary.



Can someone who knows tell me how to do this? I have already wasted far too much time (Word also managed to lose all my endnotes and footnotes when I combined chapters. Had to rebuild all from scratch). What a waste of time. SIGH
