Are there shortcut keys for headings?
I am using Word 2007.
Is there a way with the keyboard to select heading 2 or heading 2 etc, without having to use the mouse and click the heading? I thought maybe I could use Alt-Key combinations but when I select Alt, I see no key values for the various headings. |

The shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+1, Ctrl+Alt+2, and Ctrl+Alt+3 still work for the
first three heading levels. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Woody" wrote in message ... I am using Word 2007.

Are there shortcut keys for headings?
Hi, I use Word 2003 in XP and there are no automatic shortcut keys but you
can add them by modifying the style in the template. To do this, I think the easiest way would be to have a file that has each of the Heading n styles in it--just create some lines and apply each heading to them. Once that is done, then: 2. Choose Tools, Customize from the menu 3. Click the Keyboard button at the bottom of the dialog 4. Select "Styles" under Categories 5. Select Heading 1 style on the right 6. Type the shortcut key combo you'd like to use. I use Ctrl+Shift+n, where n is the heading number (it appears as Ctrl+! in the dialog after you type it in) and press Enter or click Assign 7. Make sure it says "Save change in Normal.dot" there at the bottom. You want this change to apply to all future documents. 8. Do steps 5-7 for each of the heading styles. 9. Click Close twice Hope that helps. Natelle Natelle "Woody" wrote: I am using Word 2007.

Sorry I see you are using Word 2007. I don't know why I missed that. I don't
know how to do it in Word 2007. I know the user interface is completely different. "Woody" wrote: I am using Word 2007.

Thanks for responding Beth.
In my WORD 2007 Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right arrow keys does not have an effect on my heading Styles. Instead, it appears to exttend selected text to the right or left.

On my, I STILL got it wrong! Thanks for the correction! :-)
I think Woody better stick with the keyboard shortcuts you posted. I've only succeeded in confusing mine not once, but twice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Suzanne S.

And don't forget Alt+Ctrl+1, 2, 3 for the first three levels.

Those were the ones I was referring to. I didn't dare type them. g

g I confess I use only the first because I have Alt+Ctrl+2 and Alt+Ctrl+3
assigned to ½ and ¾ (and Alt+Ctrl+4 to ¼). I prefer this to using the AutoFormat As You Type setting for fractions because (a) sometimes I need to type dates as 1/2 or 3/4, and (b) the AutoFormat doesn't work when you're typing, say 5½. The advantage of the Alt+Ctrl+1, 2, 3 shortcuts is that they will always work to apply headings. Alt+Shift+Left/Right won't work if you're in a paragraph that's part of a numbered list that doesn't include the heading styles. I run into this with my Q&A template, which uses Headings 1 and 2 (unnumbered) and has questions that are part of a numbered list that doesn't restart (numbering is continuous throughout the document). -- Suzanne S.
