I need a hands-on Word expert who can wire a brand-new keyboard shortcut into Microsoft Word (Windows, Office 365). When I press Ctrl + Shift + L I don’t want the default bullet list—instead the keystroke should instantly apply my preferred text format (font family, size, color, alignment, and any other style attributes I’ll spell out once we start).

You may solve this with VBA, a macro-enabled template, or any other native Word technique that survives program restarts and travels with the document when I share it. Whatever route you choose, the shortcut must not interfere with other standard combinations and must remain editable by me later.

Deliverables
• A .dotm or similar file containing the macro / shortcut binding
• Step-by-step instructions (screenshots or brief video) so I can import it and tweak the style myself
• Quick test document proving the shortcut applies the exact formatting every time

Acceptance criteria
- Pressing Ctrl + Shift + L applies the specified style in a fresh Word session without additional clicks
- No existing shortcuts or ribbon commands break in the process
- Solution works on Word 2019 and Office 365 builds

If you’ve done custom shortcuts or style-driven macros before, that’s precisely what I’m after—let’s get started.
