Headings shortcut in Word?

Question

I use headings a lot in my document and I like to use the navigation pane to quickly look through them. The "issue" is that the only way I know how to open the navigation pane is to hit CTRL+F and then go from the find tab back to headings. I was wondering if I could save a click by using some sort of shortcut to open the headings tab directly without having to go through find. It feel like there should be a way since when I close and then reopen it flashes to the heading section only to switch back to find. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Yes, there is a way to create a shortcut to apply a Normal style. Below is a list of shortcuts for the Heading styles as well as how to create a shortcut for the normal style.

• Heading one Ctrl+Alt+1

• Heading two Ctrl+Alt+2

• Heading three Ctrl+Alt+3

Assign a shortcut to Normal style

1. Right click on the Normal style found under the styles group and click Modify.

2. In the Modify style dialog box click in the lower right on Format and then Shortcut key...

3. In the Customize Keyboard dialog box enter a new shortcut key (example:Ctrl+Shift+N).

4. Click Assign and Ok.

You are now set to start using the shortcut to apply Normal style.
