Assign Keystroke to Style
I am trying to assign a keystroke to the default styles in Word's Normal
template. I want to hit ALT+H for heading one and ALT+T for Title, and ALT+N for the normal. When I do it I get an error that says, "Word cannot change the function of the specified key." Why? And how can I fix this to work. I am using the beta 2 of 2007. -- BigK wrote this ... |

Assign Keystroke to Style
Create a macro to assign the styles and assign your keystrokes to that
macro. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Bigk" wrote in message ...

Assign Keystroke to Style
FWIW, Alt+Ctrl+1 is the built-in shortcut for Heading 1 (same with 2 and 3
for Headings 2 and 3), and Ctrl+Shift+N for Normal. Because Alt is used as a menu accelerator, I imagine that 2007 does not allow you to use it alone with letters for user-defined keyboard shortcuts. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the heads up on the other keyboard shortcuts. In Word 2003 and earlier I always gave it ALT+N, etc. Why are they not listed in the keystroke dialogue for that style? Maybe because its beta? |

I'm not sure how complete the Help file in Word 2007 is, but in Word 2003,
if you look at the Help topic "Keyboard shortcuts," they're in the "Apply paragraph styles" section of "Character and paragraph formatting." I'm not sure why these keyboard shortcuts are not listed with the styles in Tools | Customize | Keyboard (in Word 2003), but if you enter any of the shortcuts in the Keyboard dialog (to be applied to another command), the "Current applied to" does show those styles. -- Suzanne S.
