Well, a couple of things first:
Alt+$ is actually Alt+4 so if you didn't actually use Alt+Shif+4 you've
actually used the number rather than the symbol. Secondly, you don't mention
having clicked the "Assign" button after having pressed the keys - if you
didn't your request was simply ignored.
As to the behavior if all is done correctly, that command (I believe) simply
(a) changes the color of the *existing* underlining to match the current
color of the underlined text [Automatic] if something other than Automatic
has been set in the Format Font dialog, or (b) applies underlining of the
same color [Automatic] if the selected text isn't already underlined. There
may be other possibilities, but if so I'm not familiar with them.

Hi All. With a blank Word doc on screen I selected : -
Tool-Customize-Keyboard-Categories-AllCommands-Commands-UnderlineColor-
(which I assume allows one to change the color of the underline which is
the
same as that of the text) then assigned Alt + $ keys for the task but with
underlined text highlighted nothing happens when I click the said keys.
Please enlighten me as to what should happen if it means something
different
from what I wrote above. Thank you. Silver Fox.
