How to make a shortcut to toggle Text boundries on/off
I really like the "view text boundries" feature (ToolsOptionsViewText
boundries) in Word, but I find myself constantly toggling it on and off. I would like to create a keyboard shortcut in Word for this feature, but cannot seem to find it in the Commands list (ViewToolbarsCustomizeCommands). Does anyone know the command for this? I am using Word 2003. Thanks in advance for your help. |

How to make a shortcut to toggle Text boundries on/off
Because it's an Options choice, you'll probably need a macro (which may be
more complex than you imagine). There are a lot of options I'd like to be able to toggle with a single click, but the closest I've gotten to this is to add the Options dialog to my Menu Bar so that at least it's just a single click away. -- Suzanne S.

You do need a macro, but it isn't that complex:
Sub ToggleTextBoundaries() With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View .ShowTextBoundaries = Not .ShowTextBoundaries End With End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need instructions for installing it, and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm for making a button to run it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How to make a shortcut to toggle Text boundries on/off
Not complex to write (if you're VBA-enabled), but very tricky to record
because Word captures *all* the Options settings. -- Suzanne S.

Jay,
I installed the macro (which was very easy) and then assigned a shortcut to it. Thanks so much for your help.
