I don't (often) use the task pane, either, but when you set the style
visibility for the task pane, you're also setting it for the Styles dropdown
(which by default shows "Styles in use"). I don't think there's any way to
crop the list in the Find and Replace dialogs; that's one you should want to
be complete, I think (though if you could force it with Shift, that would
serve as well).

There's not a built-in keyboard shortcut for highlighting, but it may be
that if you assign one it would work in the F&R dialog as well. I suspect it
would, as I have changed the shortcut for small caps from Ctrl+Shift+K to
Ctrl+K (I swapped with Hyperlink), and when I press Ctrl+K in the Find
dialog, I get Format: Small Caps. Whether it would work as a toggle or not,
I'm not sure.

I found that. It helps a little bit.

I use a lot of Find/Replace with styles and highlighting -- the dialog box
for Find Styles / replace styles has every style
listed. That's the one I'd like to truncate. Is that possible?

I'd also like a shortcut on to find by highlighting. Like a control+___
something. I can find/replace italics and underline
by control+I, or ^u. Do you know of a way to get a keyboard shortcut to
find/replace highlighting? Thanks.

Word XP.

BTW, I use the menu bar dialog boxes for formatting and styles. I don't
use the pane on the right-hand side. Old eyes --
need all the screen space for these LARGE fonts now. ;-)

In the Styles and Formatting task pane, at the bottom, is a dropdown box
from which you can select Available styles, Styles in use, All styles
(which
is a joke), and Custom. Choosing Custom opens the Format Settings dialog,
in
which you can set visibility.
