See Which Keyboard Shortcuts Are Assigned


The Problem:

Our systems people have customized our main work template so that we can all use company-standard keyboard shortcuts for applying styles and running macros. The problem is that I was ahead of them on this and have been using my own shortcutswhich aren't all the same as the new ones. So now some of my shortcuts work, while others run commands I'm not expecting. How can I see what's assigned where? I'm sick of combing through the Customize Keyboard dialog box in the hope of identifying the apparently random command they've assigned to my shortcut.

The Solution:

Good newsyou can print out a list of assignments. Choose Tools Macro Macros, type listcommands, and press Enter or click the Run button. In the List Commands dialog box (see Figure 8-4), choose the "Current menu and keyboard settings" option (to see the full list of commands, choose the "All Word commands" option). You can print out the resulting table for reference, search through it, or sort it by the column that interests you (using Table Sort).

Figure 8-4. The List Commands command produces a table of the keyboard shortcuts currently assigned in Word.
