Fortunately, there&rsquo;s a shortcut &mdash; the Ctrl + Y keystroke combination. This shortcut remembers the last set of formats applied. By <em>set<\/em>, I mean multiple formats applied to a selection. There are two limitations with this shortcut:<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry\" align=\"justify\">\n<ul>\n<li>The shortcut remembers only the last set of formats applied. That means you&rsquo;ll want to apply the set to every occurrence in the document, before starting a new formatting task.<\/li>\n<li>You must apply the first set of formats using the Format dialog box. If you use icons on the Formatting toolbar, Word remembers only the last icon clicked. It can&rsquo;t remember a set of formats applied via the toolbar icons.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">To use the Ctrl + Y shortcut to quickly apply multiple formats, do the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Select the first word or phrase.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Choose Font from the Format menu.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">In the Font dialog box, select the appropriate formats.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Click OK to close the dialog box and return to the document, where Word will have applied the specific formats to the previously selected text (step 1).<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Highlight the next word or phrase that you want to format and press&nbsp; Ctrl <a href=\"http:\/\/rivervet.com\/\">propecia health insurance<\/a>  + Y to apply the same formats chosen previously (step 3).<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Repeat step 5 until you&rsquo;re done applying that particular set of formats.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"justify\">This shortcut is most useful when you&rsquo;re in a position to apply multiple formats to an entire document &mdash; usually after you&rsquo;ve created the document and you&rsquo;re reviewing it.<\/p>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks BEGIN -->\n<div class=\"social_bookmark\">\n<a title=\"Click me to see the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d568').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_down',{duration:2.5}) }); return false;\"><strong><em>Bookmark to:<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<br \/>\n<div class=\"d568\" style=\"overflow:hidden\">\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a style=\"font-size:90%;text-align: right; \" title=\"Click me to hide the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d568').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); return false;\">Hide Sites<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks END -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">$$('div.d568').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: August 4th, 2008 Author: Susan Harkins I tend to think of styles in terms of entire documents, or even sections or paragraphs.
