customize or assign keytips?
Hi All,
I'm wondering how easy it might be ... or not ... to assign a key stroke like Alt-G-T as a shortcut for a macro rather than Alt+G,T? It would seem on the surface, that the flow of typing might be a little smoother with the new way. It might require a little less dexterity. So my question is, how do you assign a "sequential trigger?" I'll tune back in tomorrow. tia Gil Ten Second Medical RecordTM http://www.TenSecondMedicalRecord.com http://www.KeyChainEMR.com Asheville, North Carolina |

It is not possible to assign Alt+G+T (try it; you'll get Alt+G, T).
Sequential (Alt+G, T) is the only way to go. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "gil" wrote in message ...

customize or assign keytips?
Hi Suzanne,
Y'all MVP's are sooo appreciated. Thanks gobs for being here through the years !! I'm referring to the Word2007 method used for accessing its ribbon: touch the Alt button, THEN the next letter, THEN the next letter for triggering its toolbar items. I'd like to try it for shortcuts to my macros. In my post here, I wrote it as Alt-G-T to distinguish it from the prior traditional method of holding down the alt key and SIMULTANEOUSLY doing the next letter or two. I called the new 2007 way as "sequential" in reference to the one AFTER the other after the other rather than Alt+first letter being concurrent key depression. Is there a reasonable way to assigning shortcuts to macros with the newer method? It sounds like you might be saying there is not but I needed to clarify. And on further thought, I suspect you are saying that the way one depicts the new method is Alt+G+T rather than Alt-G-T. Hmmm. I think I got it. If that's the take, then no further response needed for this post. Cheers ... Gil "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... It is not possible to assign Alt+G+T (try it; you'll get Alt+G, T).

I think you've lost me since I don't use that kind of keyboard shortcut for
menus or the Ribbon.* But I don't think the new method is any different from the old one. Alt alone has always activated the menu bar (in Word 2003, the File item is highlighted when you press Alt), though you don't get the dramatic display of popups. If you happen to press another accelerator key at the same time, then you might get a little faster response. But for menu items (and their equivalent on the Ribbon), I'd use Alt, G, T to depict the sequential nature of the keypresses. *That is, I use Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog but not Alt, F, P (or Alt+F, P). -- Suzanne S.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm laboring under a misumderstanding. I'll play with it a bit and reconsider. Thanks Suzanne.
