Removing styles from style sheets

You can remove any styles that you create from your style sheets. All topics that are formatted to use the style sheet will keep the formatting until you reformat the text or link it to a different style. You can also remove any custom formatting for any of the default styles such as Normal and Heading 1.

To remove a style:

  1. From the Format menu, select Styles.

  2. If the Hide inherited styles check box is selected, remove the check mark to see all available styles in the Styles list.

  3. Under Available in, select the name of the style sheet (*.CSS).

  4. From the Style list, select the style you want to remove.

  5. Click Delete. The style (or formatting for a default style) is removed.

Tips:

  • When you delete one of your customized styles, the style name is removed, and it is no longer available to use from any topic that is linked to the style sheet.

  • You can also remove all formatting from a default style — select the style name, and then click Delete.
