MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / September 2003paragraph style
I created 3 new paragraph styles, A, B, C. I'd like to apply them in this order: A->B->C->B->A->.... I have "Style for following paragraph" set to B for A and C. How can I set B to be followed by A or C alternately? You can't short of a macro. Bill Coan created a macro for me that allows me to press Alt+Enter and get a paragraph of the same style instead of the one set as the following style. You might ask in one of the word.vba NGs about how to code this. -- Suzanne S.

You might ask in one > of the word.vba NGs about how to code this. Alt + Enter could be "set" to do what the normal Enter key does, and subsequently change the "Style for following ..." Something for the vba-guys, in any case :-) Greetinx .bob ..Word-MVP ...but, true enough, one special key to trigger this would be needed, so it's up to the user which one (s)he prefers ... Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news What I should have said was that Bill gave me the macro, and I (at his suggestion) assigned the Alt+Enter keyboard shortcut to it. When I press Enter, I get the "Style for following paragraph," as expected. When I press Alt+Enter, I get a new paragraph in the same style as the previous one. I do a lot of Q&A docs, and sometimes the Qs are not followed by As but by more Qs. If there are a *lot* of A-less Qs, then I modify the style; if there are just a few, I use this shortcut. -- Suzanne S.

Best you can do is set B to be followed by one of the styles, and then define a keyboard shortcut for the other, so that it is just a keypress to get the style you want.
