See my previous post for what I think is a general solution for you. Here
I'll try to answer some of your specific questions.
> *** Now I'm trying to create keyboard shortcut keys. I went to the tools
menu, clicked customize, clicked keyboard, In the sace changes box I clicked
the name of the document I was working on (maybe I should of clicked
normal.dot??), I clicked on the style I had created (quote) in the
Categories box, click the category that contains the command or other item.
In the Press new shortcut key box, I tried to type the letter q, which is
what I want to use on the keyboard, however I it would not let me type
anything. Am I doing this wrong?

You may be thinking of shortcuts in the style dropdown rather than
traditional keyboard shortcuts. (I don't think you want to apply your quote
style everytime you press the letter q on your keyboard.) A style shortcut
is created by modifying the style. In the box with the style name, click
after the name, press the comma and then type a shortcut such as "q." Then,
when you click in the style box and type q and Enter, you'll get your style.
For more on styles and their names, see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm.
You can apply a keyboard shortcut (not in the styles menu) to a style the
way you were, but usually people add a Ctrl or Alt modifier if they want to
be able to use the keyboard for typing.
Hope this helps,
