That helped alot, but what do I have to do to get the style to apply to the
whole paragraph without selecting all of the text? Thanks again!!

Set up a toolbar that will apply formatting to paragrahps or s
Providing it is a paragraph style, if the insertion point is anywhere in the
paragraph and you select the style, it is applied to the whole paragraph. You only get problems if you have selected part of the paragraph and then change the style. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "akkrug" wrote in message ...

Set up a toolbar that will apply formatting to paragrahps or s
Thanks Terry. Guess it has been awhile since I did any Word projects. I am
trying to add a button to a toolbar that will apply formatting to the text I'm not sure what I'm missing. I am selecting Add/Remove Buttons, customize, commands, format, style and that is where my choices stop. How do I select the style I want the button to apply? When I drag the button to the tool bar it has the wrong style on it. Thanks again for the help!!

Set up a toolbar that will apply formatting to paragrahps or so
You don't: well you can but why reinvent the wheel! Which version of Words
are you using? If it is Word 2003, open the Style Pane to display the list of available styles: just click on the one you need. If you generally use just a few styles, you can add a shortcut key to a style in the edit dialog. Terry "akkrug" wrote in message ... Thanks Terry.

Set up a toolbar that will apply formatting to paragrahps or s
Thanks Suzanne! I got one button working. When I added a second button, it
doesn't seem to do anything when it is pressed. I know the style (bodycopy) is ok because I can toggle between the 2 styles in the styles by clicking in the formatting pane. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Have a great weekend! Ken K. - 2191 "Suzanne S.

No, I have no idea. I have only a single template that has such a toolbar,
with a dozen or so styles, and they all work correctly. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "akkrug" wrote in message ...
