Hi there,

Our word template is restricted to allow only using a number of styles.

One of the styles is superscript and I am desperately looking for a way to toggle this on and off (that would be useful for any other styles as well).

I can assign a shortcut to the style but I can't get back to the normal style.
Even clearing the formatting (CTRL+SHIFT+C) doesn't revert the style back to normal. I would have to select some text, and clear formatting to get rid of it.

If there was a way to toggle the styles that would be awesome!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Archer

Hi,

One of the styles is superscript

character style, paragraph style, linked style?

and I am desperately looking for a way
to toggle this on and off (that would be
useful for any other styles as well).

I don't understand your goal. If a character style is applied, you can
remove it by selecting the text and then pressing Ctrl+Space.
If it is a paragraph style you can apply e.g. Normal style.

Even clearing the formatting (CTRL+SHIFT+C)

Ctrl+Shift+C means to copy formatting (= format painter)

Ctrl+SpaceBar clears direct formatting, including paragraph styles, at the
insertion point.

Correction: Ctrl+SpaceBar clears direct formatting, including *character*
styles, at the insertion point.

Each text paragraph must always have a paragraph style. Unlike paragraph
styles, character styles are optional.

Thanks for your reply.
This one is a character style.
The goal is to be able to turn on/off superscript (or any other style for that matter)using a keyboard shortcut while typing . Because the template doesn't allow direct formatting, the default shortcuts for subscript/superscript don't work.
The weird thing with this character style is that you can hit "Clear All' or select the Normal style after that but it still stays superscript..
I have to keep typing superscript and then go back and select the text and clear the formatting. That can't be right, can it?
