Assign Shortcut to a Style in Word 2007

[Margy]

In Word 2003 one can assign a shortcut command to a style i.e. Heading 1 is
Alt+H1 and Heading 2 can be Alt+H2 etc. So useful. I cannot find the same
option in Word 2007. Can anyone assist please.

You can also get there from the Modify Style dialog box for the style you
wish to assign. Press Ctrl+Shift+S, select the style you want in the list,
and click Modify. Click the Format button at the bottom, and choose Shortcut
key.

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Besides the first
part it is exactly like 2003. Many thanks

You can also simply add a comma after the style name and enter a keyboard
shortcut that can be invoked with Control-Shift-s/x/Enter. That¹s mercifully
not changed since the earliest days of Word.

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Besides the first

I don't see Keyboard shortcuts under Customize.

Office Button | Word Options | Customize: Keyboard shortcuts. The categories
include Styles as before.

In the bottom left corner of the Customize window (below the commands list),
there is a Customize... button to the right of the words "Keyboard
shortcuts." Click on that to open the Customize Keyboard dialog, then choose
Styles in the Categories list.

Alternatively, right-click on a style in the Styles window and choose
Modify. In the Modify Style dialog, choose Format | Shortcut key...
