Can't assign shortcut key for Grouping. Is there a way?

[Aliquot]

I use Word 2003. I can't seem to assign a shortcut key for the Draw > Group
function. I could in earlier versions of Word. Is there some mysterious way
of getting it to behave?

Hi Aliquot,

You can create a macro that will apply a group command
to already select objects then use Tools=>Customize=>[keyboard]
and assign the shortcut key to the macro.

'-------------
Sub GroupThese()
'
' GroupThese macro
' Macro to Group already selected objects
' Commented-out lines are ungroup and regroup
'
Selection.ShapeRange.Group.Select
'Selection.ShapeRange.Ungroup.Select
'Selection.ShapeRange.Regroup.Select
End Sub
'-----------------

Hi Aliquot,

As with any command, you should also be able to use Ctrl+Alt+Num+ (Ctrl key
+ Alt key + "+" on numeric keypad), then click on the menu command for
"Draw > Group".

If you use Ctrl+Alt+Num+ twice, you'll see that it's the shortcut for
"ToolsCustomizeKeyboardShortcut"
