[mso] Re: Word 2003: Apply Custom Color to Text

Hi Dian,

<<Create a character style and add it to your template. >>

Ok, I've figured out how to do that, and I added it to Normal.dot.


I read the TechTrax article, "Return of Speed Styling", and I did create the 
new toolbar. But now, I'm on thin ice. When I click the Styles icon, I find 
that I have over 30 user-defined styles. I never intended to define ANY 
styles. They must have sprung up like weeds over the past 18 months since I've 
been producing the club's newsletter. What happens if I start deleting 
user-defined styles? All the documents based on Normal.dot going back 8 or 9 
years including all my most complex documents (the club newsletters) will turn 
to dust! That's well over a thousand documents.

At least for now (before I delete any user-defined styles), the one I 
CONSIOUSLY produced does allow me to apply my custom color to selected text. 
Somewhere along my venture into this new ground, I did see what looked like a 
way to apply a keyboard shortcut to my new custom color style. That brings up 
two questions: How do I know I'm not conflicting or re-defining an existing 
keyboard shortcut? Where can I find all the currently assigned keyboard 
shortcuts? Is there a relatively "safe" key combo that can be paired with 
other letters or numbers for user-defined keyboard shortcuts? In this 
instance, "safe" means not already in use.

Thanks for all the help.

Ray Shapp
