Style Shortcuts and Lost Functionality
I'm using Word XP.
I got clever and changed shortcuts for two styles: Emphasis style -- Ctrl + i Strong style -- Ctrl + b Very nice. Now I'm no longer ever doing direct formatting. HOWEVER, when I use Find/Replace, I can no longer search for bolded or italic text. The shortcuts won't work in that dialog box. I use those search limiters often. So I killed off my template and lost all my other really good customizations, and started over. I think it took less time than trying to track down the right tweak to apply, and I had to get something out. Is there a way to use these shortcuts to apply those styles, and KEEP the ability to filter for bold or italic in Find/Replace? Thanks! Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, *((( ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Hi *(((,

Is there a way to use these shortcuts to apply those styles, and KEEP the ability to filter for bold or italic in Find/Replace? In the FIND dialog box, click "More". Click the "Format" button and choose "Style". Select the style name for which you want to search...
