Styles Window

[Pastor Ed]

I need a macro command that will open the styles window. I'd like to have it
show by default when I open Word, but I understand that's not possible. The
short macro is the next best solution.

What do you mean by "Styles window"? The Styles and Formatting task pane?
The Style dialog?

 

[Graham Mayor]

Do you mean like clicking the double A symbol at the end of formatting
toolbar or pressing CTR+ALT+SHIFT+S in Word 2007?

Sorry. Yes, Suzanne. I'm trying to have the Styles Task Pane open easily from
a keyboard command.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I hope I'm wrong, but I can't find any way to do this. Ctrl+F1 (assigned to
ViewTaskPane) opens *a* task pane, but here it is the Getting Started pane.
Styles and Formatting is on the Format menu, and it is listed in both the
Format and All Commands categories on the Commands tab of Tools | Customize,
but it is *not* listed in either category in the Customize Keyboard dialog.
You can open the Style dialog with Ctrl+Shift+S, but apparently you can't
assign a keyboard shortcut to the task pane. Sorry.

FWIW, you can use a macro such as the following:

Sub StylesPaneToggle()
Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = _
Not Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible
End Sub

Thanks, Stefan. That should do the trick.

 

[Pastor Ed]

It does exactly what I wanted. Thanks, Stefan!
