Hi John
If your system's too pinned down to install a plug-in, AND you know the names of all those styles you want rid of, AND you've got a decent text editor, then you can do this on bulk MIF files.
It'd pay to search the FM files first to make sure no text is using any of the old styles.
Then back up everything!!!!
Then convert all your FM files to MIF, open the MIF files in bulk, figure out the paragraph catalog lines for your unwanted styles, and use global search and replace across all your files to remove those catalog entries.
Did I mention you want to back everything up first?
Cheers
Rick..im interested. Here's the kicker...im in a super-locked down environment and to install anything takes an act of god. Does your plugin require the installation of anything above and beyond FM11. Feel free to carry this conversation off-list.

Hi, guys...As I created my template from scratch, I have a number of P
styles that I've used, then stopped using. I therefore have a bunch of
styles that I need to clean out...from about 500 files. I maintain a
control document with only the valid styles and when I need to change or
modify a style, I do it in this document to test it's impact, then import
to all other docs in book. What this won't do is remove styles from all the
files that aren't in the control document.
How do you go about doing this?
