Question

Hot keys to apply styles

I want to change many, but not all, Heading 4 styles to "Procedure Intro."

Does anyone know if there is a way to assign the Procedure Intro style using hot keys? So far, I've only been able to make Ctrl+Shift+N work for applying a Normal style. (I thought the hot keys worked for headings, too, but I can't make that happen.)

Currently, I moved the formatting toolbar down nearer the text window, but I still have to select the style from the drop-down box which is extremely bothersome.

Thanks for any help.

    Thanks everyone for your effort. I sent this issue to Adobe's wish list. Since it is already in FrameMaker, and has been for years, I am hopeful that they can repurpose that piece. You never know.

    Hi there

    CTRL+ALT+1 = Apply Heading 1

    CTRL+ALT+2 = Apply Heading 2

    CTRL+ALT+3 = Apply Heading 3

    Cheers... Rick

    Thanks for the tip on the headings. :-) What about non-heading styles? Is there a way to assign hot keys to them?

    This article was just posted in another forum. Perhaps Ctrl+Shift+S can help shortcut the process? I'm currently at a PC without RH, so can't test it myself at the moment.

    Hi Amebr

    I just tried it and what the key combination does is to cause the styles drop down in the Formatting toolbar to open. You then have to select a style from the drop down.

    I tested with the toolbar hidden and an interesting thing occurs. The drop down appears anyway!

    Cheers... Rick
