Summary: The keyboard shortcut to reset a paragraph to its default formatting is Ctrl+Q. This tip explains exactly what the shortcut does, as well as discussing how you can accomplish the same task using macro commands. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
If you are using styles in your documents, you can reset a paragraph to the default settings (according to the assigned style) by positioning the insertion point anywhere within the paragraph and pressing Ctrl+Q.
If you are creating macros you can achieve the same effect by using the Selection.Paragraphs.Reset method. This command counteracts the effects of any alignment, spacing, tabs, indentation, or pagination that was done manually to the paragraph. The method returns the current paragraph (the one that is selected or where the insertion point is located) to the default paragraph specifications based on the style assigned to the paragraph.
