[stylist] Word Processing question

Hello:

     This is great. I am writing some articles and am using Word 2007. 
Getting to the assortment of styles was proving awkward with the ribbon 
interface. By the way, if you want to make a line of text a heading, press 
shift+ctrl+s and then press h. This will take you to the top of the list of 
possible headings. If you use a heading 2 style, a heading style will appear 
in the list.

Regards,

Robert
