Adding the command UpdateStyle to my ribbon
I wish to add a button to the ribbon to trigger the command UpdateStyle (as it is referred to in the customize keyboard menu - see image a).
However, the customize ribbon window doesn't features such the command UpdateStyle (see image b) In fact, most of the commands seem to have different names here.
a)
b)
My questions
1) specific: what is the name of UpdateStyle in the ribbon list of commands? (So I can add it)
2) general: where can I find a list of commands and their "short" and "long" versions to avoid this problem? (The closest I have found is this but is has the fairly major downside of being in Japanese).
3) If for some reason UpdateStyle isn't an option to add to the ribbon, can someone assist me in making a deadbasic VBA macro that does nothing but invoke UpdateStyle so I can add it that way.
1. Try the Redefine Style command which can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar (or to the ribbon).
2. Keeping track of Word's built-in commands is not easy. Most of them are based on the classic menu interface from Word 2003 and earlier. You can download a list from the wordmvp site at https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/General/CommandsList.htm but it won't be fully up to date.

Thank you very much. "Redefine" did the trick.
I've bookmarked the MVP resource, since I'm sure it will help with similar ambiguities in the future.
(P.S. I enjoyed how droll some of the command descriptions at MVP are - "Crashes Word", "Doesn't actually do anything."!)
