Changing Styles in Word 2007
I want to change the styles in word 2007.
I would like to have 5 or 6 syles that I most often use in the new style place in the ribbon. I have tried creating new styles and adding them and removing the ones I don't use. I have tried changing the ones there. Every time I click the box that says to make them availabe for all new documents. But whne I close and reopen word 2007 it always reverts back. Secondly I also want to assign keystrokes. When I try to add for example ALT+T to the Title Heading, it gives me an error that says word cannot change the function of the specific key. |

Changing Styles in Word 2007
For your styles, did you also make sure the "Add to Quick Style List"
was selected? Also, it could be your changes are getting discarded when you exit Word. If you have the Adobe PDFMaker add-in then that will cause this behavior. Check in the Word Options and in the Add-ins section see if the Adobe add-in is listed. If so then the add-in isn't compatible with Word 2007. The only part that works is discarding changes to your Normal.dot(m) when you exit Word. Regarding your keyboard shortcut, I believe most of the Alt combinations are either assigned to KeyTips (press the Alt key to see them on the ribbon) or to the old Office 2003 UI navigation. For example, Alt+T, O will open the Word Options dialog box. (Tools/Options) and they can not be reassigned. FWIW, most programs do not allow the Alt key to be used for keyboard shortcuts for similar reasons. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Changing Styles in Word 2007
Thanks Beth. I do have Adobe installed but I don't really use it except as a
printer so I can disable it. As for the keystrokes, I used the ALT keys in word 2003. But right now its not installed. And when I tried using CTRL keys it said the same thing. Regardless of what I pick it gives me the error message. "Beth Melton" wrote: For your styles, did you also make sure the "Add to Quick Style List" was selected?

news  Thanks Beth. I do have Adobe installed but I don't really use it except as a printer so I can disable it. I thought that might be the problem. As for the keystrokes, I used the ALT keys in word 2003. But right now its not installed. And when I tried using CTRL keys it said the same thing. Regardless of what I pick it gives me the error message. The old Word 2003 UI navigation is available in Word 2007 - you don't need Word 2003 installed to utilize the keys. Actually, now that I take another look it does appear you can assign keyboard shortcuts using the Alt key. Strange, the last time I checked I couldn't.... Are you still encountering the issue after removing the Adobe add-in? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Changing Styles in Word 2007
I was finally able to get the styles changed permanently after removing Adobe
Add-in as you described. I still could not change the key assignment inthe styles dialogue. But I was changing some of the buttons on the quick access toolbar and saw the button to customize the keyboard and found how to change keystrokes for styles there and it worked. This seems to be a bug. If you can change it in one place but not the other, that is an inconsistency that should not exist since you'd figure you could do it in the style box and in the keyboard customizations place as well.

When I right click on a style either in the ribbon or in theStyles dialogue box you get from clicking the little button on the ribbon under Change Styles, which has the list of styles. If you right click you get an option to Modify. In there the Format drop down at the bottom left has an option for Shortcut Key... It is in there that it won't change it. But if you go to options and customize the keyboard you can. And the new shortcut key now shows up in the Shortcut Key box inthe Format Drop Down. |

As soon as I posted my last reply I remembered there is a Shortcut key command in the Modify Style dialog. (I'm not a big keyboard user. ;-) ) I can confirm I get the same results if I use this method. I'll double-check this in B2TR. Thanks for your help!
