How do I assign keyboard shortcuts myself? eg Keep with next?

[kt]

In the new version of Word does anyone know how to assign a keyboard shortcut
as you could in the old version of Word through Tools/Customise/keyboard
shortcut?

On the Developer tab, click on Record Macro, then on the Keyboard button and
assing the desired shortcut, then record the action of formatting the
paragraph so that it is kept with next.

Why not just use Customize | Keyboard | All Commands to assign a shortcut
directly to ParaKeepWithNext?

In Word 2007?

Right click the Quick Access Toolbar, click Customize QAT, then click the
Customize... button next to Keyboard shortcuts: near the bottom of the QAT
customization window.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Yes.

Of course, the user first has to find Customize. But even then, there is no
command for "Keep with next" to which a keyboard short cut can be added. A
macro is required.

I beg to differ, Doug. In Word 2007, click the arrow on the end of the QAT
and choose More Commands... (or go through Office Button | Word Options |
Customize). Click the Customize... button next to "Keyboard shortcuts." In
the Categories list, scroll down to All Commands. In the Commands list,
select ParaKeepWithNext and assign a shortcut

 

[Terry Farrell]

That is correct. It is like the other commands in that group which all start
off with Para... such as ParaPageBreakBefore. Confusing but they are all
listed (thank Heavens as I use the ParaPageBreakBefore command a few times
every session).

I have a long file which I am trying to move from 1 computer to another.
However, various errors generate. I have the same Word versions on both
computers. The errors include repetition of titles in bold.

I have a cancer book on a file but when I try to open the file on a new
computer, numerous errors and repetition arise.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I'm often wrong when speaking on the fly or off the cuff, but I had
specifically looked that one up before answering (I don't trust Word 2007 to
have *anything* that I could count on in Word 2003).

And what has this got to do with the thread to which you replied, changing
the subject line when doing so, about keyboard shortcuts?

(I don't trust Word 2007 to have *anything* that I could count on in Word

2003).

FWIW, my problem with Word 2007 is that when I'm using, say, the Page Setup
dialog box, I feel that I'm really in File | Page Setup, not in Page Layout
tab | dialog launcher button in the Page Setup group.
