styles helpn in Word 2007

[Millie]

I've got a List Nymber style set up in Word 2007 which has Body Text as the
style following. The style following Body Text is the same List Number style.
So with each press of the return key key I get List Number, Body Text, List
Number, Body Text. This is what I originally wanted but it means I can't
insert paragraphs in the body text because of each time I hit the return key
in Body Text I get the List Number style. Is there a way of inserting
paragraphs wihtout List Number coming up? Like perhaps holding down a
[specified] key + return to by-pass the 'style following fuction'?

Not that I am aware of. What you do is press the shortcut key you have
assigned for bodytext and press it and keep typing.

Word MVP Bill Coan kindly supplied this macro for me, and I assigned
Alt+Enter as the shortcut key. When I press Alt+Enter, I get a paragraph in
the same style instead of the one designated as the following style:

Sub AlternateEnter()
'
' AlternateEnter Macro
'
Dim OriginalStyle As Style
Set OriginalStyle = Selection.Style
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Style = OriginalStyle

End Sub
