Hi Tom,
I don't think this is unique to Word 2003 (I noticed the same thing in Word
2000) - but why can't the F1 key be used for a macro instead of to bring up
Help? Does anyone know - or IS there in fact a way to assign F1 to execute
a macro?
There is, but it requires a macro. The basic code is as follows. Note the
CustomizationContext: you need to set this to where you want the assignment
to be valid. "TestWord" is the name of the macro.
Application.CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument
Application.KeyBindings.Add wdKeyCategoryMacro, "TestWord", wdKeyF1
