Show acceleration key in toolbar button

[hstijnen]

When I create a toolbar button for a style, and connect the style to an
acceleration key, the acceleration key is showed in the tooltip of the button.
Now I have created a toolbar button for a macro and connected the macro with
an acceleration key. But in this case the acceleration key is NOT showed in
the tooltip of the button.

What can I do to make this happen?

Thanks,

Henk

You need to programmatically define the tooltip's text. Assuming the button is
the third one on a toolbar named "My buttons", the code would be something like
this:

CommandBars("My buttons").Controls(3).TooltipText _
= "Descriptive text Alt+A"

Notice the spaces in the text; those are deliberate. There's no way to tell Word
to "right-align" part of the text.
