I never have a problem with styles. Here is what I do. First, press control plus shift plus s. Then, press down arrow. Then, press the first letter of the style name, e.g., "B" for "body text". Then arrow up and down among the available styles until you find the one you want. When you do, press ENTER. That's it!! The trick is to hit the down arrow first. If you know the name of the style, of course, you can just type it in. I am usually too lazy for that. <SMILE> Let me know if this does not work. Most trainers are mouse-handicapped, meaning that if they can't mouse it, they can't do it. Good luck!

My trainer is able to apply the formatting when dubbel-clicking the desired style, however we are unable to apply the style using key-strokes. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
