Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for your reply - it was somehwhat useful and also very informative
- I had never thought about that! I just found out that when you've made a
selection you can press CTRL+SHIFT+S, then F4 and a list of all styles in the
document opens! This works in Word 2003; I'm not sure whether it works in
older versions though, but that is not in my interest.. Doing this I can do
exactly what I wanted to do..

Thanks from Hollandm

Jacob

You can add styles to the context menus, but it would be quite a job, as
there are a *lot* of contexts. See the "shortcut menu" portion of

In Word, I work with the keyboard as much as possible. Also, I use the
styles
to keep the formatting of my documents uniformly. When I make a selection
and
want to apply a style to it, I need to click a style in the Styles and
Formatting Task Pane. If I could press the Context Menu key on my keyboard
and select one of the available Styles from a submenu in the appearing
context menu, it would not be necessary to use my mouse to apply the
Style.
