Default Missing style "Heading 2"

Odd that Ctrl+Alt+3 and Ctrl+Shift+S have no effect. By default, Ctrl+Alt+3
(not F3) applies Heading 3 to the current paragraph, and Ctrl+Shift+S brings
up the Apply Styles pane. Unless you reassigned them, have an add-in that
has hijacked those key combinations, are using a Mac (I don't know anything
about how Word 2007 works in the Mac) or are using a modified keyboard in
which the 3 and S have been relocated, I can't imagine what the problem
might be.

You can follow Urike's suggestion to unhide Heading 3, but I'm really
puzzled as to why basic key combinations are not working.

Thanks Herb! The Ctrl+Alt+2 worked like a charm! Once I did that, the
Heading
2 showed up!

However, the Ctrl+Alt+3 did not work for Header 3 and the Ctrl+Shift+S did
not help (even for Header 2 before trying the other trick).

Any further thoughts? Header 1 & 2 are pretty good, but I would love to
have
3!

Both are there, but apparently are being hidden until used. You do not
need
to create them--just apply Heading 2 (and/or Heading 3) to the desired
heading, and then they'll show up on the list. If need be, press
Ctrl+Shift+S, type Heading 2 into the box (if it's not available for
dropdown) and presto. Or, press Ctrl+Alt+2 for applying Heading 2, and
Ctrl+Alt+3 for Heading 3.

I am using Word 2007 and playing with my formats. However, the systel
"Heading 2" and also "Heading 3" are missing. How do I re-introduce
this?
When I make a new style called "Heading 2", it says that the names are
reserved. How do I put it back in?
