@aap - Anything is better than Word's HTML, filtered, unfiltered, or passed thru a membrane water filtration unit :lol:

Now Kovid has access to the DOCX he should be able to tell you why you're not getting the desired results. Meantime here's a macro to delete unused styles that might help clean up the template

    Sub DeleteUnusedStyles()

Dim oStyle As Style

    For Each oStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles
        'Only check out non-built-in styles
        If oStyle.BuiltIn = False Then
            With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
                .ClearFormatting
                .Style = oStyle.NameLocal
                .Execute FindText:="", Format:=True
                If .Found = False Then oStyle.Delete
            End With
        End If
    Next oStyle
End Sub
