Hi all,


For several years, I was the sole tech writer at my company and was the
only person in my department who used Framemaker. Now we have another
tech writer, for a total of two.



For this year's user guides, I made some changes to the paragraphs and
character styles, cross-reference names, etc. I created a template
document that contained info about all of these new styles and when to
use them-it took quite a bit of work, but we needed it, particularly
since we now had more than one tech writer, and the new tech writer
(unfortunately) cannot read my mind. :)



Anyway, I have no problem with using the new styles on my computer. When
the new tech writer opens my documents on his computer for editing or
proofreading, however, or when he creates a document on his own using
the template, many of the obsolete styles end up finding their way in
his documents. 



It is very time consuming for him to have to go through every document
he touches and delete the obsolete styles. Can someone tell me how to
avoid this issue? Thanks!
