Word 2003 Style List
I would like a fast way to apply the Heading 1 style, rather than having to
scroll down to that selection from the Style dropdown list. Can I change the order that styles are listed so my choice is at the top? Is there any other way to apply a style with minimal keystrokes? Thanks |

Thanks There are default keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+1 for Heading 1, Ctrl+Alt+2 for Heading 2, and Ctrl+Alt+3 for Heading 3. Although the default assignments don't go any further, you can add more if you want them -- see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...roToHotkey.htm. That will do not just for Heading styles but for any style. In the Styles dropdown, after you click the down arrow to open it, type the first letter (or more) of the name of the style you want, which will scroll to the first style that starts with that letter or group of letters. Then the one you want should be in view and you can quickly click it. The order of styles in the Styles task pane can be changed in Word 2007 (through the Manage Styles dialog, Recommend tab, with the "Set priority" group of buttons) but not in earlier versions. Even then, the Styles dropdown (which you can add to the Quick Access Toolbar) will remain sorted alphabetically. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2003 Style List
Hi,
Try the paint brush button on the standard toolbar at the top. This magic button allows you to quickly duplicate formatting. To use it - highlight what you want to repeat (like a line with Heading 1), press the paintbrush, then highlight the text you want to appear the same. I find this easier than using the Styles. I used to be a fan of Styles but there has been an unwelcome Word upgrade that has made the Styles too complicated to use.

Word 2003 Style List
A keyboard shortcut can be assigned to any style. Ctrl+Alt+1 is the built-in
shortcut for Heading 1, and there are similar ones for Headings 2 and 3. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "PJ" wrote in message ...
