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:


 * 1) Open the document that contains macros with shortcut key assignments.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Customize.
 * 3) Click the Keyboard button. The Customize Keyboard dialog box opens.
 * 4) In the "Save changes in" box, click to select the document that contains the macros you want to assign a shortcut key to.
 * 5) 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.
 * 1) In the "Press new shortcut key" box, type the shortcut keys you want to use with the selected macro, and then click Assign.
 * 2) 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:


 * 1) Open a document based on the template that contains the shortcut key assignments.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Print.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) Under Print, click to select Key Assignments, and then click Print.
