Assign shortcut keys to styles

If you're a fan of using styles, you can create your own shortcut keys to apply styles quickly.

Go to Tools - Customise, then to the Options tab. Click on the Keyboard button on this tab.

Scroll down the list displayed on the left, until you see Styles. Click on Styles to select it, then you will see a list of styles currently available for use on the right.

If a style you wish to assign a shortcut key to does not appear in the list on the right, close out of the dialogue box, apply the style, then follow the steps above again - you should then see the style listed.

Enter your shortcut key combination in the 'Press new shortcut key' box. If the shortcut keys selected are already assigned to another function in Word, it will be displayed in the box.

If you want to overwrite the existing function for the shortcut keys you have chosen, click Assign.

If you wish to assign a unique set of shortcut keys, use Backspace to remove the shortcut keys you have typed in; then try typing in another key combination. Click Assign when you have a key combination you are happy with.
