MORE INFORMATION

Shortcut key assignments can be defined for macros that are stored in a Word document.

Defining a Macro Shortcut Key Assignment in a Word Document

To define a macro shortcut key assignment in a Word document, follow these steps:

Open the document that contains macros with shortcut key assignments.
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
Click the Keyboard button. The Customize Keyboard dialog box opens.
In the "Save changes in" box, click to select the document that contains the macros you want to assign a shortcut key to.
Under Categories, click to select Macros. Under Macros, click to select the macro name.

NOTE: If the selected macro has a shortcut key already assigned, the shortcut key assignment will be displayed in the Current Keys box.
In the "Press new shortcut key" box, type the shortcut keys you want to use with the selected macro, and then click Assign.
Click Close twice.

Microsoft Word will not print macro shortcut key assignments that are stored in a document. However, Word will print macro shortcut key assignments that are stored in a template.

Printing Shortcut Key Assignments

To print shortcut key assignments, follow these steps:

Open a document based on the template that contains the shortcut key assignments.
On the File menu, click Print.
In the Print dialog box, if you have a drop-down arrow next to a setting named General, click the arrow and change the setting to Microsoft Word.
Under Print, click to select Key Assignments, and then click Print.
