Set the properties, etc. The character style is stored int he current document. If you wish the character style to be available in all new documents then you would make the change to a template and make that template the default. For more information on using styles see the Writer user guides. The version for 1.9.x is still in draft form (1.9.x hasn't been officially released) and can be downloaded from: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/writer/ To assign a key shortcut: Tools > Customize... > Keyboard Scroll to the bottom of category and click the + to the left of "styles" Select Character styles In Function select the character style Select the shortcut key Click Modify Ok As OpenOffice.org, by default, doesn't use the Alt key, or longer key combinations, for shortcuts the range of keys available is a bit limited. Thus, even in 1.9.x you may want to try my key handler macros.
