This should do the trick. I add the button to the menu bar, since that's =
guaranteed to be visible.
But you can hold down the Alt key and then drag it onto any toolbar.

Dim myButton As CommandBarButton
Set myButton =3D CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls.Add(ID:=3D3466)
myButton.Style =3D msoButtonCaption

If I open my old template where I had the shortcut stored, I can
pretend I'm assigning the shortcut to something else and it says,
Currently assigned to: FormatBordersAndShading

and it works fine in that template.

But in my new normal.dot, this is NOT an option! How frustrating. =
I'm
sure there are others missing, but I'm focusing on this one right =
now
because I use it a lot!

Any ideas of how I could create a macro to bring up the dialog box =
and
assign a keyboard shortcut to that?
