Send keys are very unreliable. It looks like Delete will not be highlighted with them. You can try to use the D accellerator for Delete.


Application.SendKeys ("%OS{UP 2}%D")
 'does not delete the selected style, nor does
Application.SendKeys ("%OS{UP 2}"), True
Application.SendKeys ("%D"), True
 ' This one opens up merge, even though merge is 3 manual tabs not 2

But it is better to not use send keys at all imo.
