the appropriate Style and the color changes.

However, being the curious person that I am, I still would like to know HOW I managed to get the following key sequences to change selected text to blue and black:

Ctrl-Shft-b (blue)
Ctrl-Shft-k (black)

Notice there is no Alt+H.
And there are no macros listed in Word.

Does anyone know:
1. How I could have accomplished this?
2. Where I could find the settings that show these key assignments (for blue/black)?
Since Word does not have commands "blue" or "black" they must be something you created.

I suggested macro names before, but I guess you could have named styles "black" and "blue."
In the assign keyboard shortcut dialog you could look under both Styles and Macros for the names.


If you want someone to tell you whether your are working with custom styles or macros, you could create a sample document where they were used and post it here.

The sample document may have highlighting rather than shading or may have styles you are not seeing.
