Word 2007 Print Key Assignments does not show Macro Name
Am I missing something? Or is this a bug? When I print my Key Assignments
in Word 2007, the list does not include any macro names. It either just lists the shortcut key with no other info, or it lists "Macro recorded [date] by [name]" when it was a recorded macro as opposed to a written macro. So I can't tell what macro the shortcut key is used for, which is the whole point of printing the key assignments in the first place. By contrast, when I used a key assignment to apply a style or to reassign a command shortcut, it does list that info. It is only macros that lack any further info. Anyone experiencing the same thing? FYI, I am testing Office 2007 for deployment in my company, so I am the only one using it here. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer. |

Word 2007 Print Key Assignments does not show Macro Name
I'm not encountering the same thing. If I assign a keyboard shortcut to a
macro and print the Key Assignments I get the key board shortcut along with the macro name in the Template.Module.MacroName format. I've tried this with macros in Normal.dotm, and a Word document and the results were the same. Ah! Hold that thought. I DO encounter the behavior you describe if the macros are stored in document/template saved in the Word 97-2003 format. I'd say you found a bug. If you convert your *.doc to a *.dotm or *.docm (click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Convert) then they'll print correctly. Note that if you need to retain the Word 97-2003 format then convert a copy of the file just in case. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word 2007 Print Key Assignments does not show Macro Name
Thank you for your hard work, your answer didn't quite solve the problem but
it pointed the way to a resolution. Actually, I was trying to print key assignments from Normal.dotm. What I had done originally was created a new Normal.dotm in 2007, then imported the NewMacros.bas file from my old 2003 Normal.dot and reassigned all the shortcut keys in Normal.dotm. I also created one new macro in 2007 but had the same printing key assignment issue. After reading your response, I tried creating a new macro with shortcut key, but saving it to a new .docm file instead of Normal.dotm, and it printed key assignment properly. So obviously the problem was with my Normal.dotm and that imported .bas file. So, first I removed all the macros from my Normal.dotm, and resaved it specifying save as 2007 format. Then I reimported the 2003 .bas file and recompiled. Then I recreated each macro with a shortcut key by cutting the old macro, typing the Sub MacroName() and pasting in the code from the old macro, and recompiled Normal.dotm. Then (still in Normal.dotm) I went to Word Options: Customize: Customize Keyboard and reassigned each macro shortcut key. After that, I could print the key assignments just fine. It was a bit odd, especially because I had already reassigned all the shortcut keys when I originally imported the .bas file, and they were working properly, but recreating them and reassigning the shortcut keys did the trick to enable printing. Thanks, Beth, and thanks to anyone else who may have spent time pondering this strange little issue. Jennifer "Beth Melton" wrote: I'm not encountering the same thing.
