creating new keyboard shortcuts, and modifying toolbar

HI

i'm switching today from microsoft word for the mac to pages and i've been hunting for some of the things that were easy to do in word but i can't find, even trying the help system, how to do them in pages. i apologize if these questions have been answered already 100 times, but couldn't find out how to search the previously asked questions in this forum without going through each page (sorry, i'm 61 and not totally computer literate yet)
Question 1). how do i create new keyboard shortcuts?
Question 2). how do i modify the toolbar, not the one on top that has charts etc on it, but the one under it that has fonts and line spacings etc. i would like to add a button that allows me to easily change the spacing between paragraphs, and another that I can click for the 'symbol' font.
Question 3). is there a way to drag the font color menu down so that it stays open?

thank you all for your time and patience

cheers polly

I used the brute force scheme doing surgery in the index.xml file.

Now, the styles are gone.

You will receive the beast soon thru youSendIt.

I'm unable to get this odd beast.
I downloaded from youSendit as you where able to do.
The file in perfectly clean.

I sent it again but thru an other channel?

To get rid of your odd styles, I used brute force.

I opened the package, opened the Index.xml file and removed the descriptors of the odd styles.

brute, quick, dirty but efficient 😉
