Style in Use vs Formatting in Use

[RNG]

Hello:

I’m querying the styles in use in a document by iterating thru all styles
and using the InUse property. The issue I’m having is that the list of styles
returned is much larger than the styles actually in use in the document.
If I open the document and check Options/Edit/Keep track of formatting, I
can see in the styles task pane the styles that are in use by selecting
“Formatting in useâ€.
How can I query in my code this “Formatting in use†property instead of the
“Styles in use†one?
I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!
Ram

Hi

From the VBA helper,
InUse Property
This property doesn't necessarily indicate whether the style is currently
applied to any text in the document. For instance, if text that's been
formatted with a style is deleted, the InUse property of the style remains
True. For built-in styles that have never been used in the document, this
property returns False.

So far Word OM modal did not expose such an interface for us to query for
the information about the styles in use.
If you still have any concern, pleas try to post in the office feedback
website.

Thanks!

So far you may try to navigate the content one by one and call the
range.Style to enumerate all the styles in use. Or you may try to contact
MSPSS directly to see if there is any other idea.
