That odd procedure works, not always, but often it works. Thank you very much!
But:
1 - why have I to select two times the same items to delete them?
(Maybe we need two ways to act: “remove and replace with…” and “remove”)
2 - Actually I have to delete about 50 (yes fifty! styles). If I select all of them and I want to delete them, a very very tall window appears with the list of all that styles and I can’t view the “OK” button and I can’t reach it with the mouse pointer.
I only, blindly, press the return key hoping the focus is on the “OK” button (and a that huge amount of styles are finally deleted).

Yes it is a very quick optical way, for now I will use it.
But can’t I insert a precise amount (i.e 10.25mm) in a specific field like those in style parameters?

Ciao e grazie mille!
Mi hai risparmiato centinaia di mouse clicks qua e là :-)

Thank you very much.
