open.

Just to flesh out this answer:
1. First (using Word Options -- Customize) add the "Styles..." command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)
2. Then make a macro like this:
Sub mDismissStylesBox()
'
' NB assumes that the "Styles..." command has been put in the "Quick Access Toolbar"
' by Customise...
'
CommandBars("Styles").Visible = False
End Sub
3. Then assign a hotkey to this macro
4. To dismiss the box you first have to press "Escape", then the hotkey you have set. NB including a "press Escape" command in the macro doesn't work
Be aware that there are two commands available which don't use the annoyingly undismissable "Styles..." box, but instead bring up older version of style-management dialogues. Both can be assigned hotkeys:
FormatStyle "Applies, creates or modifies styles"
FormatStyleManagement "Manage your stylesheet"
To apply a hotkey to either or both of these, go to Customize Keyboard and look under the Category "Commands Not in the Ribbon" or "All Commands".
