Disabling custom bullets and numbering in a Word document

Disabling custom bullets and numbering in a Word document

I have a simple problem. For some document, a custom image was used as a token for it's bullets. At that time, it just looked nice, even though the image itself was quite large. (The bullet itself ended up being resized to normal size, but the original image was at 640x640.) However, after plenty of modifications to the document, it was decided to remove this custom bullet again. So the document now uses regular bullets.

"The classic way to clean/repair a Word document is to copy all but the last paragraph mark into a new Word document. This method will save most of your text formatting. However, you will probably need to re-do or fix your headers/footers, especially if you have sections.

(I assume you've already reset the bullet & numbering styles? I don't know if Word 2007 has this possibility, but in earlier versions, there's a reset button in the bottom right corner of the ""gallery"" of list styles.)

Edit: I was browsing around for something entirely unrelated, and found this
remove hidden data add-in for Office 2002 or 2003/XP.
For Office 2007, you can use the Document Inspector to achieve the same thing."
