Alex,

I tried to get paragraph style 1 of document 1 of pages 
(make sure you are firing up against Pages 5 and not 4.3  I thought perhaps I 
could run 
create style with Name MyStyle Layout centered 


Bu I could not even  get paragraph style to be recognized as an object it kept 
showing me get style in the log file.

If you want to give it a try feel free. I think the primary thing that Ann 
wants to do is be able to assign a short cut key such as F1 to a given style.
