SYMPTOMS
If you assign a shortcut key combination to a macro in Microsoft Word and then add the macro to a menu or toolbar, the shortcut key assignment does not appear on the menu or toolbar.



WORKAROUND
When you create a custom macro with an assigned shortcut key, follow these steps to place the macro and its shortcut key assignment on a menu or toolbar:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Customize. On the Commands tab, under Categories, select Macros.
 * 2) Under Commands, find your macro and drag it to a menu or toolbar.
 * 3) Click Modify Selection, click in the Name box, and then, if necessary, change the name of the macro. Following the name of the macro, type the shortcut key assignment.
 * 4) Click Close in the Customize dialog box.



MORE INFORMATION
Any built-in Word commands that display shortcut keys on menus or in-screen tips automatically show key assignments when they are customized on toolbars or menus.
