Apply a style through the context menu of a selection, so the use.

In Word, I work with the keyboard as much as possible. Also, I use the styles
to keep the formatting of my documents uniformly. When I make a selection and
want to apply a style to it, I need to click a style in the Styles and
Formatting Task Pane. If I could press the Context Menu key on my keyboard
and select one of the available Styles from a submenu in the appearing
context menu, it would not be necessary to use my mouse to apply the Style.

You can add styles to the context menus, but it would be quite a job, as
there are a *lot* of contexts. See the "shortcut menu" portion of

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for your reply - it was somehwhat useful and also very informative
- I had never thought about that! I just found out that when you've made a
selection you can press CTRL+SHIFT+S, then F4 and a list of all styles in the
document opens! This works in Word 2003; I'm not sure whether it works in
older versions though, but that is not in my interest.. Doing this I can do
exactly what I wanted to do..

Thanks from Hollandm

Jacob
