How do you create keyboard shortcuts?

[stkelly52]

I know that there are some tech savy guys here, and I am sure one of you can answer my question. I am trying to create some keyboard shortcuts for use in MS Word. I know that it can be done because my wife did it once, but she can't remeber how she did it.

Assign shortcut keys to a command or other item
You can assign a shortcut key to a command, macro, font, AutoText entry, style, or a commonly used symbol.

On the Tools menu, click Customize.


Click Keyboard.


In the Save changes in box, click the current document name or template in which you want to save the shortcut key changes.


In the Categories box, click the category that contains the command or other item.


In the box to the right, click the name of the command or other item.
Any shortcut keys that are currently assigned appear in the Current keys box.

In the Press new shortcut key box, type the shortcut key combination you want to assign.


Click Assign.
Note The key combination CTRL+ALT+F8 is reserved for initiating keyboard programming on programmable keyboards, so you cannot assign this combination if you use a programmable keyboard.
