atw: Re: Creating an alias for a style in Word

Hmmmm... interesting! Thanks for that tidbit.

I'd prefer to just assign a keyboard combination to commonly-used styles... eg. Ctrl-Shift-3 for Heading 3.

Here is something I came across that in the techwr-l archives I seemed to have
missed in my long years of using Word. I don't think it is documented, at least
not in the Word 2003 Help. Seems an old dog can always learn new tricks...

This is from:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/archives/0405/techwhirl-0405-00015.html:

"I prefer to apply styles by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S, then typing the style name
and pressing Enter.

I don't want to have to type "Heading 3," so I create an alias by appending a
comma and "h3" to the existing style name in the style definition dialog box.

Word displays it the same way in the style selection drop-down list:

Heading 3, h3

Once this is set up, I can press Ctrl+Shift+S, type h3, and press Enter to
assign the Heading 3 style to the current paragraph..."

Anyone else have any useful or obscure Word tricks to share?
Cheers Mark
