Re: A recorded macros to assign style "Normal" doesn't work

First, a direct answer to your question: The code to remove all applied
style and direct formatting from the selected text is

Selection.ClearFormatting

Second, you don't need any macros for what you're doing. You can assign any
style (or any other built-in command) directly to a button or shortcut key.
Follow the directions in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm or
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToHotkey.htm and
choose the "Style" category in the Customize dialog.

Also, by default the ClearFormatting command is assigned to the shortcut
Ctrl+spacebar.

Ooops. I'm using Word 2002 SP3.

I have created new style "Case Cite" as applying Italics.

I recorded two new macros to apply "Case Cite" and "Emphasis" to
selected text; both macros select styles from the tool-bar, type in
the style name, and end with "Enter." I created new macro buttons
for each. They all work as expected.

I then wanted to be able to return text that I'd styled as "Case
Cite" or "Emphasis" to "Normal" text. I recorded a similar macro to
reapply "Normal" to the styled text. But this recorded macro
results in the text being styled "Case Cite + Normal" or Emphasis +
Normal" rather than merely "Normal." When I enter the same routine
manually, it generates the expected "Normal" style.

I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions or explanations.

Very respectfully,
Larry
