I'm needing to create documents that utilize various character styles. It may seem lazy, but I find highlighting the word and double-clicking
Highlighting a word is not necesseray to apply bold / italic / a paragraph / character formatting.
in the Stylist to change character styles tedious. Is there some reasonably easy way to assign a shortcut or toolbar button to that task?Rod,
FWIW, IMO this is one reason a lot of people use direct formatting instead of Styles, particularly if the format change involves something really simple like italics (as opposed to double-clicking on the Emphasis style or some such).

P.S. If it matters, I have 1.1.3 and 1.9.69 on FC3. I haven't gotten around to installing the beta rc yet.
I hate to reply with the obvious, but why not record some macros to change character style to bold, italic, etc. Link the macros to toolbar buttons. You'd still have to select and click, unless you had the macro select the word for you. Even at that, you'd sooner or later need to select a phrase, so I don't know whether this will save you time or not.
Once you do have a macro, you can assign it to a key-combination as well. I have Ctrl-Shft-1 for heading one. Etc.
Good news: in OOo 2.0, you can directly asign styles to key-combinations.
Kind regards,
Cor
