MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / November 2003Update Styles by Example in Word 2002??
I have looked high and low for a shortcut to update styles in Word 2002 by example. In Word 97, you used the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+click in Style box to update the style based on the changes you made in a current paragraph. Does anyone know of a shortcut to do this in Word XP? > I have looked high and low for a shortcut to update styles > in Word 2002 by example.

Hi Karissa, You can add a keyboard shortcut yourself: In "Tools > Customize... > Keyboard...": Categories: All commands, Command: Redefine style Then press a new keyboard shortcut in the box for that purpose (say Alt+Ctrl+Shift+R for "Redefine style"). And/or you can add the command to some toolbar or menu: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm Greetings, Klaus Thank you KLAUS! THAT is what I was looking for exactly, not how to be prompted to update style, Suzanne. The multi-post was inadvertent. Thanks. ----- Klaus Linke wrote: ----- "Karissa" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I have looked high and low for a shortcut to update styles > in Word 2002 by example.
