1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. Select Keyboard from the list of categories.

Select the specific command or macro to be assigned a key.

Choose a shortcut key for the macro or command.

Repeat step 4 to assign additional keys to the macro or command. This procedure adds each additional key selected for the macro or command to the Current Keys option for macroname list. Only the first eight keys assigned display in the Current Keys option for macroname. REFERENCES
