Hi,

Try Ctrl-Shift-S. It depends on your version of Word. In Word 97 this lets
you access the styles window on the formatting toolbar and type in your
style name. Then you hit Enter to apply the style.

If you have a later version you'll need to add the following macro that
Klaus Linke wrote for me a while back. Then assign that macro to a keyboard
shortcut.

Sub MyStyleDropDown()
' from Klaus Linke on newsgroups
' 2003 December 12
'
  Dim myCBCB As CommandBarComboBox
  Set myCBCB = _
    CommandBars.FindControl(id:=1732, _
    Visible:=True)
  If myCBCB Is Nothing Then
    Dialogs(wdDialogFormatStyle).Show
  Else
    SendKeys "{ENTER}"
    myCBCB.SetFocus
  End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.
