I used to have a customized keyboard shortcut to bring up the Borders &
Shading dialog box for a table. I'm starting over because my normal.dot
is very old and probably corrupt so I want a fresh start. I'm using
Word 2003.

I cannot find in the shortcuts anything that will give me this dialog
box. In my world, it should be under FormatBorders & Shading, or even
TablesFormatBorders & Shading. I cannot find anyway to assign this
shortcut.

I suppose I could create a macro and assign that a shortcut, but I
can't believe this isn't an option!

Any ideas?

Jodi

I haven't tried this, but try "Borders:" in All Commands.

I tried that. All that does is clear all borders. I also tried it with
"Shading" in All Commands with the same result.

Also, I discovered I cannot make a macro because I need to close the
dialog box I'm opening in order to stop recording, which makes the
macro do nothing. Maybe there's a way around this, I don't know a lot
about macros.

Is there a way to copy keyboard shortcuts from another template like
styles and macros? I found something on the Internet that someone
created but it didn't work for me. I think because it was for a
previous version of Word.

Any other advice?

Assign a keyboard shortcut to the FormatBordersAndShading built-in
Word command. You'll find it in the "All Commands" category in the
Customize keyboard dialog box. (You can open the dialog box via
ToolsCustomize, click the Options tab, and click the Keyboard
button.)

Did you try this, Stefan? If that command were listed there, do you think
this thread would exist?

Yes, I tried it -- in Word 2000. Are you saying the command no longer
exists in recent versions of Word?
