Word does not have built-in commands or keystrokes for either of those. You
would need to write macros, then assign them to the desired keystrokes. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "JethroUK©" wrote in message news:ZINwc.720$L64.371@newsfe3-gui...

What about Condensed: (under All Commands)?
and then you get to pick by how many points Word does not have built-in commands or keystrokes for either of those. You would need to write macros, then assign them to the desired keystrokes.

Or you could create some new styles and assign keyboard shortcuts to them.

Hi Jethro,
For line spacing, there are the built-in shortcuts Ctrl+1 (single), Ctrl+5 (1.5) and Ctrl+2 (double). As Steven said, you'd be better off to customize your styles. If you want to vary character spacing for copy-fitting, +/- 1 pt would be much too much. Perhaps Suzanne Barnhill's article http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/FitCopy.htm has some better ideas.

If you want to increase/decrease the character spacing of the selected
text by one point, these two macros will do that, without your having to to into the Font dialog box. Just install these macros and assign keystrokes to them. Sub SpacingIncrease() X = Selection.Font.Spacing Selection.Font.Spacing = X + 1 End Sub Sub SpacingDecrease() X = Selection.Font.Spacing Selection.Font.Spacing = X - 1 End Sub Larry "JethroUK©" wrote in message news:ZINwc.720$L64.371@newsfe3-gui...

Hi, Helen. Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ respectively increase and decrease the
font size, not the character spacing. Helen Tasky wrote: Ctl + ] or [ "Larry" wrote in message ...
