Keep Paragraph Style After Hitting Return
I have styles set up for different paragraphs (i.e., numbered items where
first line is Hanging by .05, etc.) When I use them with their CTRL SHFT short cuts, when I hit return to start a new paragraph, Word reverts the paragraph back to Normal. I want it to stay in that style until I recode it for something else. How do I turn on that feature? |

If you click "Format", "Styles and formatting", select the desired Style,
click the dropdown arrow and select "Modify", you will see in the dialog box the style selected to follow. Change it to the same Style you are using. This way hitting ENTER continues the same Style. Another option (if you use this a lot), is to create a custom toolbar and drag your Styles to the toolbar. Then all you have to do is click the desired icon to change the Style. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Chocomare" wrote in message ...

Ctrl-Shift is a manual page break unless you've recoded it. These should be
avoided where possible. Instead use paragraph (style) formatting of page break before. The style to follow any particular paragraph style is set in the style definition. You can modify this. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
