Keyboard Shortcut for Style button

[Elaine]

Hello,

Is there a keyboard shortcut to access the drop-down arrow on the Styles
button?

If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, use Ctrl+Shift+S. Select the desired
style (e.g., by using the cursor keys and/or by starting to type the style
you're looking for), and press Enter when the style is selected.

If you're using Word 2007, you can still use Ctrl+Shift+S, but it activates
the Apply Styles box. You can use it to apply a style, but the Apply Styles
box doesn't disappear (Ctrl+Space, C will close it if it has the focus).

Hi Elaine,

In addition, in Word 2007 pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S opens the Styles pane,
which is not the same as the Apply Styles dialog box.

In Word 2007, you can press Alt to activate accelerator keys; this works for
the QAT as well as the ribbon.

For example, in my installation of Word, I can use Alt 4 to activate the
Style box on the QAT (probably because the Style box happens to be the
fourth item on my QAT).
