Styles in Word

[gls4468]

After a lot of effort, I had finally gotten fairly good at using Styles in Word 2000. I now have Word 2003, and Styles is once again a total mystery. Any suggestions where I can learn more about how to use this important tool?

Hi gls4468

The basic ideas about styles haven't changed between Word 2000 and Word
2003. Only the user interface has changed.

The describes how the new user interface works:
How the Styles and Formatting pane works in Word 2002 and 2003

The following macro can be assigned to Ctrl-Shift-S to give you keyboard
access to the styles drop-down box:

Sub MyStyleDropDown()
' from Klaus Linke on newsgroups
' 2003 December 12
'
Dim myCBCB As CommandBarComboBox
Set myCBCB = _
CommandBars.FindControl(id:=1732, _
Visible:=True)
If myCBCB Is Nothing Then
Dialogs(wdDialogFormatStyle).Show
Else
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
myCBCB.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

I also assigned a custom button next to the styles dropdown to the Word
command "Style" which displays the styles dialog box without going through
the pane. This made the new interface OK with me. (i.e., It moved it out of
my way unless I wanted to use it. I can still call up the pane using Format
=> Style....) I think I got the info on how to do that from Suzanne
Barnhill.
