Microsoft Office Word Macros on a shortcut key

 

Macros are very powerful and better if you can make them handy if you assign a shortcut key to your macros. This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.

 

 

Select Customize from the Tools menu. You will see the Customize dialog box.

Click on the Keyboard button. Word displays the Customize Keyboard dialog box

Scroll through the Categories list and select the Macros category. The list at the right side of the dialog box changes to show the currently available macros.

In the Macros list, select the macro you want assigned to the shortcut key.

With the insertion pointer in the Press New Shortcut Key box, press the shortcut key you want to use. For instance, if you want to use Ctrl+Alt+J, press that.

Just below the Press New Shortcut Key box you can see whether the shortcut key is already assigned to a different function.

Click on Assign.

Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each change you want to make.

Click on Close.
