Reuse a specific format:
I am trying to find out if there is a way to reuse a format within a document. Specifically I am using a format in many different places within a document that utilizes: 1) Superscript 2) Bold 3) Blue Font It is tedious to have to always depress all three buttons from the top of the screen in order to achieve this and even using the format painter button is hard as I have to go and select one of the small sections on the document that have this format and then hit the painter. Is there an easier way? I hope so. Thanks for your time... |

Reuse a specific format:
Well there are many different ways to do this. One way is to record a macro. Then assign a hotkey so whenever you want to do this, smack the hot keys. ______________________________________________ Bill (using a Toshiba 2595XDVD & Windows 2000) -- written and edited within Word 2000 "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to a style just as easily.
