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 Keyboard.

  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.

  with the selected macro, and then click Assign.
