= SUMMARY =

Page 198 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual for Word version 4.00 incorrectly states that you should press COMMAND+SHIFT+OPTION++ (keypad plus sign) for the Assign To Key command. However, pressing this key sequence causes a beep.

The correct key combination is COMMAND+OPTION++ (keypad plus sign).

The complete steps for using this command are as follows:


 * 1) Press COMMAND+OPTION++ (keypad plus sign). This causes the mouse pointer to become a bold cloverleaf symbol (the symbol on the COMMAND key).
 * 2) Choose the command that you want to assign a key combination to. (You can do this by choosing the command from the menu, pressing an existing key combination, or clicking a ruler icon, style name area, or other visible element corresponding to a command.)
 * 3) Word displays a message asking you to “type the keystrokes for…”. Press the desired key combination for that command, observing the rules described under “Assigning Commands to Key Combinations” in the manual on page 198.
