Indeed it is. Thanks, Peter. I could have sworn I looked at all the
alternatives, but I guess I didn't try that one.

It was probably the first thing I put on my QAT. In the Customize
window, it's the one whose button is AA with the second A underlined,
and the legend is "Styles..." (the one whose legend is "Styles" gives
you the Styles dropdown, so the Home tab or the Styles pane don't have
to show (using up screen space) in order to quickly grab a new style)

Actually, it has.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S ...That opens the Styles pane.
This doesn't work for me because that shortcut is assigned to a
DataPrompter
macro, but even if I unassign the macro, the shortcut still doesn't work,
and I can't find any command in the Customize dialog that looks as if it
would open the Styles pane as opposed to the Apply Styles dropdown. What
am
I doing wrong?

1. How do I make trailing dots? Say I write Comments on a form and
want to write trailing dots until the right hand side of the page.
Set a right-aligned tab stop at the right margin, and give it a dot
'leader'. To do this, open the Tabs dialog (Alt+O, T), type in the
distance from the left margin to the right margin, click the Right
option
and the dot leader option, and click OK. [Note: Don't use the Tabs
button
in the Paragraph dialog; see
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...gement/ms....]
Then press the Tab key to insert a tab character between the text on the
left and on the right.

2. Sometimes I have a bit of a problem making an underline that runs
from the left hand side to the right hand side of the page. Has this
issue happened to anyone else?
Is there a shortcut for making this line straight away?
Turn on the top or bottom border of a paragraph. On the Home tab of the
ribbon, the Borders button is the rightmost in the bottom row of the
Paragraph group. A shortcut is to type three or more hyphens in an empty
paragraph and then hit Enter. This depends on having 'Border lines'
checked in Office button Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options
AutoFormat As You Type, but those options are troublemakers best turned
off (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...utoFormat.htm).
3. How do I create checkboxes (preferably quickly)?
The 'legacy controls' (protected form fields and ActiveX controls) are
on
the Developer tab of the ribbon, which you can enable in Office button
Word Options Popular. If you use form field check boxes, you need to
'protect the document for forms', which disables a lot of Word's
functions. ActiveX controls have some other nasty side effects.
If the check boxes will be used only in Word 2007, and not sent to
anyone
using an earlier version, try Greg Maxey's add-in at
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Custom_CC_Checkboxes.htm.
4. How do I create frames of text/pictures? This is because I might
want text to be aligned within a particular frame in the form of a
newspaper for example.
I'm not sure what you're asking here. If you want to put a frame
_around_
text, there's an Insert Frame button among the legacy controls mentioned
in #3 -- select the text and click the button.
5. How do I review the Style settings? Basically I want to
create/update styles for Heading 1, Heading 2 etc, because on my
version only Heading 1 seems to exist, and, after scrolling about a
bit 'Heading 2' appeared.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S or click the tiny arrow button at the right end
of
the name bar of the Styles group on the Home ribbon. That opens the
Styles
pane. Click the Options link in the bottom right and choose to display
All
Styles and list them alphabetically. Then you can right-click any style
and choose Modify.
You can also click the third of the three similar buttons at the
bottom --
the tooltip says Manage Styles -- and choose which styles appear in the
gallery and in what order.
