The Styles shortcut (Alt + „) is a popular shortcut for many Excel
users. To their frustration and grief this shortcut was removed
from Microsoft Excel 2007 and 2010.
We have the cure! We have created the “Excel 07/10 Styles
Hotkey Tool” to bring this shortcut functionality back into Excel.
This tutorial describes how to install and use this custom built
add-in.
Installing this shortcut means you always have Styles handy
which allows you to standardise cell formatting and ensure your
model has a consistent and professional look.

Locate the Add-In file, select it and click OK.
This will create an Add-Ins tab at the top of Microsoft
Excel 2007. Under it you will see a drop-box. This drop-
box is now your Styles toolbar under Microsoft Excel
2007.
How to Use Excel 2007 Styles shortcut
Simply press theshortcut Alt + „.
This will bring you to the drop-down box shown
previously where you can type the style you intend to
apply and press enter. This will apply the same style to
all selected cells.
Troubleshooting
This tool is run by a macro. As a result, the moment
you apply a style using the tool, Excel‟s Undo function
will reset and any changes made (including applying
the style) CANNOT be undone via the Undo button.
Please keep this in mind when using this tool and
always remember to make a back-up of your model.
Occasionally, the Alt + „ does not bring you into the
drop-box. When this occurs, press the Esc key multiple
times to reset all active key-strokes and try again. If it
still fails, try changing the menu tab to something else
before trying the hotkey again. While this is happening,
manually selecting the drop-box and keying
in/selecting the style name still works. If all else fails,
restarting Excel 2007 will solve the issue.
If you immediately type in the style name after entering
the shortcut, the shortcut may not register and you will
be typing the style name into selected cells. If this
occurs, press the Esc key, and retry the hotkey.
