Delete a Style?

Is there a reason that a paragraph style would have the "delete style" option under the little triangle greyed out? It isn't one of the styles that comes with the program. It is one I made, now no longer use and want to get out of the styles drawer.

I don't believe it is used in the document because the "select all uses of style body full" is also greyed out.

TIA

I really don't know but I did look in a blank template and the headings styles has greyed Delete style. In Pages08 they are not greyed down. It didn't help write some text and use the style. It didn't change a thing. This could be a bug in Pages09.

Thanks for checking fruhulda.

I tried renaming the style to "hobditz" but it still wouldn't delete. I guess the "heading" and "body" styles are locked in by something other than the name.

I ended up renaming it "ZZZZZ" to put it at the bottom of the drawer.

Thanks again

Jim

Truly weird, I created a new blank document and imported the styles from my original document, making sure I did not import the one I wanted to delete.

When I opened the style drawer - There it was again.

I think Pages is mad at me for trying to delete a style. I have crossed over into the Twilight Zone. (Old American TV show about strange things) LOL!
