Update Style to Match Selection
Is there a command (or what is the default keyboard shortcut) to
Update a Style to Match Selection? This would be the same thing as clicking the downarrow next to the style in the Styles & Formatting Pane and selecting "Update to Match Selection". I'd like to either add this to my right-click menu or assign a keyboard shortcut but I can't find the command. TIA, Andy |

The command is RedefineStyle. I use this one quite frequently (I have it
assigned to Ctrl+Shift+D, whose original assignment, double underline, I never need). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Andy" wrote in message ...

Herb,
You appear to have satisfied Andy. I can't find the command that displays the Modify Style dialog that presents the user with the option to reapply or update. Does such a thing exist? |

Hi, Greg,
The command you seek is FormatStyleModify. Cheers, -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Greg" wrote in message oups.com...

The command you seek is FormatStyleModify. I have a shortcut key for that, but the one I end up using the most is the key assigned to the one line macro: Word.Dialogs(wdDialogFormatDefineStylePara).Show because that's the one I usually want to jump right to. Andy |

If I'm interpreting your question correctly, in Word 2002 and 2003, check
the box for "Prompt to update style" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options. Herb's answer is correct if you're actually looking for the command to open the Modify Style dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Ah. *That* "Modify Style" dialog. While you can use the Prompt option to
force it under some circumstances, I don't believe there is a built-in command to trigger the particular box Greg asked about. I've looked and didn't find a VBA approach either, either. You'd only ever want to see that dialog if it contained a style variant, in which case, you could create a macro to apply the current base/unmodified style, which would then trigger that dialog (unless the base style is Normal, in which case the Modify Style dialog refuses to appear). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

If Andy was just looking for a way to make it appear when appropriate,
however, the "Prompt" setting will do the trick. -- Suzanne S.
