Delete Default Table Styles (Word XP)

Is there any way to delete all of the Microsoft built-in table styles in Word XP?

In the Table AutoFormat window, there are 45 predefined styles that I am unable to remove.

I am aware that you can select to see only the styles in use, or the user-defined styles, but I don’t want those MS styles to even be available to our users.

Cheers,

I’m afraid that you can’t delete the built-in table styles, just as you can’t delete the Normal and Heading1 etc. paragraph styles.

You might remove all the “standard” ways to change formatting, and provide your own formatting toolbars or menus. A lot of work.
