Hot keys to apply styles

I want to change many, but not all, Heading 4 styles to "Procedure Intro."

Does anyone know if there is a way to assign the Procedure Intro style using hot keys? So far, I've only been able to make Ctrl+Shift+N work for applying a Normal style. (I thought the hot keys worked for headings, too, but I can't make that happen.)

Currently, I moved the formatting toolbar down nearer the text window, but I still have to select the style from the drop-down box which is extremely bothersome.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there

CTRL+ALT+1 = Apply Heading 1

CTRL+ALT+2 = Apply Heading 2

CTRL+ALT+3 = Apply Heading 3

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the tip on the headings. 🙂 What about non-heading styles? Is there a way to assign hot keys to them?

I think the only way is to get special macro recording software and create a macro of the keystrokes. I think I've seen mention of such a thing on the forums previously, but I don't remember the name of the product unfortunately.

This article was just posted in another forum. Perhaps Ctrl+Shift+S can help shortcut the process? I'm currently at a PC without RH, so can't test it myself at the moment.

Hi Amebr

I just tried it and what the key combination does is to cause the styles drop down in the Formatting toolbar to open. You then have to select a style from the drop down.

I tested with the toolbar hidden and an interesting thing occurs. The drop down appears anyway!

Cheers... Rick

Ah, Macro Express does sound familiar.

And thanks for testing the key combo, Rick.

Thanks everyone for your effort. I sent this issue to Adobe's wish list. Since it is already in FrameMaker, and has been for years, I am hopeful that they can repurpose that piece. You never know.
