Suggestion - Quick Access to Font Effects
While using W2003, I occasionally use Strikethrough via Format, Font menu
options, and Effects checkbox. Because several clicks are required to get this effect, perhaps an entry in the Quick Menu could be added to quickly turn this effect on and off. Perhaps a Recently-Used entry (with sub-menu) in the Quick Menu could point to such options, or if this might slow down the response of the Quick Menu, how about a single entry showing the last effect, or make the number of entries programmable in Tools, Options? I have used another work-around, where I created my own Quick toolbar with customised entries according to need, but after a while this gets cluttered with functions previously added but then rarely used. -- Richard Search the web and raise money for charity at www.everyclick.com ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Suggestion - Quick Access to Font Effects
Use a keyboard shortcut (I don't remember how to assign one in 2003)

Suggestion - Quick Access to Font Effects
Yes, thanks grammatim, I've used keyboard shortcuts. I have Ctrl+/ set up
for a tick and Ctrl+\ for a cross. The same applies really as for the Quick toolbar - it's the recently-used ones that I want quick access to. I don't want to keep re-customising the toolbar or the keyboard. -- Richard Search the web and raise money for charity at www.everyclick.com "grammatim" wrote: Use a keyboard shortcut (I don't remember how to assign one in 2003) On Jan 26, 7:31 am, RichUE wrote: While using W2003, I occasionally use Strikethrough via Format, Font menu options, and Effects checkbox.

Suggestion - Quick Access to Font Effects
You can use Tools | Customize to add a Strikethrough button to any toolbar
(it even has a built-in icon). I have both Strikethrough and Double Strikethrough on my Formatting toolbar. Or you can add it to the context (shortcut) menu(s), but note that you will probably have to add it to a *lot* of context menus since there will be many "contexts" in which you may want to use it. There is not a built-in keyboard shortcut, but, as previously mentioned, you can assign one. -- Suzanne S.

Probably the best work-around is to use Format Painter to re-apply the
effects of interest. -- Richard Search the web and raise money for charity at www.everyclick.com "RichUE" wrote: Yes, thanks grammatim, I've used keyboard shortcuts.

Except that Format Painter may apply more than you want.

It didn't come that way? I had a Strikethrough button, but since I
never use it, I don't think I put it there ... On Jan 26, 10:23*am, "Suzanne S.

If I look at Add or Remove Buttons | Formatting, Strikethrough, Double
Strikethrough, and many others I've added are dimmed, indicating they are not among the default choices for that toolbar (much less displayed by default), so I can only conclude that you must have added it at some point. -- Suzanne S.
