Actually, it has.
Ah, now I see the added material -- I missed it on my first visit today.
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?
The Ctrl+Alt+NumPlus command tells me that Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S is assigned to
the FormattingPane command in the All Commands category. I thought that
removing all nondefault assignments from a key would restore the default,
but maybe not...

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...672447?hl=en.]
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.
