Re: Quick selection of paragraph formats in Microsoft Word

Hi Clif,

It will accept any function key except F1, which is permanently
assigned to Help. You can also combine F2 through F12 with any
combination of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift.

Most of the function keys and their shifted combinations are already
assigned to various commands. When you press the prospective shortcut
while the cursor is in the "Press new shortcut" box, the current
assignment will be shown below -- for example, putting in F2 results
in "Currently assigned to: MoveText". If you decide you don't want to
reassign that key, press the Backspace key to remove the contents of
the "Press new shortcut" box so you can try another shortcut. When
you're satisfied, click the Assign button (just clicking Close doesn't
do it).

JAY: Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have tried to
determine if this capability exists on a number of occasions through
Microsoft customer service contacts without satisfaction. I guess I had just
tried the wrong contacts.

In trying this option as you suggested, I only have one (1) remaining
question: Is it possible to establish a function key as the shortcut key?
From my cursory inspection, it would not accept my input of a function key.

Please advise.
