Hi,

Try Ctrl-Shift-S. It depends on your version of Word. In Word 97 this lets
you access the styles window on the formatting toolbar and type in your
style name. Then you hit Enter to apply the style.

If you have a later version you'll need to add the following macro that
Klaus Linke wrote for me a while back. Then assign that macro to a keyboard
shortcut.

Sub MyStyleDropDown()
' from Klaus Linke on newsgroups
' 2003 December 12
'
Dim myCBCB As CommandBarComboBox
Set myCBCB = _
CommandBars.FindControl(id:=1732, _
Visible:=True)
If myCBCB Is Nothing Then
Dialogs(wdDialogFormatStyle).Show
Else
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
myCBCB.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.

I want to be able to apply a style to the select text using the keyboard
only. I can't find a way to do this - I have to use the mouse. At present I
click on the Style drop down and then select a style. I want to be able to
drop down the list using the keyboard only. Can anyone help ?
