I am proofreading a book that should have 174 pages. It began with 539 pages. By fixing formatting, changing page size from a small custom sized page to 8 and 1/2 by 11 and by changing margins, I now have 239 pages in the book. I also reduced the font to .12 throughout. What is really perplexing me is that every few lines I get a statement that says either style character 1 style character 2. I have selected the entire document and changed the style to body text. Even so I cannot get rid of these other two styles. Is there some simple way to change the entire style to normal? I'm hoping that using normal style throughout and increasing my page length will get the book to the right number of pages and also make it easier to read. I am using Word 2003. It looks like an interesting book, but I'm going to release it if I cannot get the book into one style. Any help would be appreciated. Lori C.
