Keyboard Shortcuts for Macros in Word 2007
I am grappling with all that's new in Word 2007 and am generally very
impressed, but one problem has so far defeated me. Although I have managed to transfer my old macros and save them in the Normal template, I cannot save their keyboard shortcuts. I used the "Word Options - Customize - Keyboard Shortcuts Customize" link, made certain that my shortcuts had not already been allocated, assigned them to the respective macro and saved them in the Normal template. However, when I next run Word, Normal loads as the default template and all the macros are available, but the shortcuts assigned to them have disappeared. What am I missing? -- Still Grappling |

Keyboard Shortcuts for Macros in Word 2007
Hi ?B?R3JhcHBsZXI=?=,
I am grappling with all that's new in Word 2007 and am generally very impressed, but one problem has so far defeated me. Although I have managed to transfer my old macros and save them in the Normal template, I cannot save their keyboard shortcuts. I used the "Word Options - Customize - Keyboard Shortcuts Customize" link, made certain that my shortcuts had not already been allocated, assigned them to the respective macro and saved them in the Normal template. However, when I next run Word, Normal loads as the default template and all the macros are available, but the shortcuts assigned to them have disappeared. What am I missing? It works for me... Do you see a message about whether you want to save changes to Normal.dot when you exit Word? How about if you go into the VBA Editor, make sure you're in the Normal project, then click the Save button there, to explicitly save Normal.dot. Are the keyboard shortcuts retained?

Cindy,
No, when I exit Word I see no message that "Normal.dot" has been changed. Nor are the keyboard shortcuts preserved if I save in VBA Editor. -- Still Grappling "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?R3JhcHBsZXI=?=, I am grappling with all that's new in Word 2007 and am generally very impressed, but one problem has so far defeated me.

Hi Grappler,
Search to see how many Normal.Dot* files you locate and in what locations. The shortcuts would be saved to Normal.dotm by default. You may also want to search and recycle files found from Start=Search using the search string of ~$*.*;*.tmp prior to starting Word. To get asked to confirm if you want to make changes to Normal.dotm use the Word 2007 Option setting (Alt, T, O, A) and in Advanced, scroll down to the 'Save' section and turn on the [x] Prompt before saving Normal template choice. Then test by modifying then assigning one shortcut key in Word, then trying it out then closing Word and reopening it. ============= "Grappler" wrote in message ...

Nor are the keyboard shortcuts preserved if I save in VBA Editor. -- Still Grappling -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Keyboard Shortcuts for Macros in Word 2007
Bob,
Thank you. I carried out the searches you recommended: there were no "tmp" files fitting your description and the only "normal.dot*" template was ".dotm" and in the folder where I had instructed Word to look for my templates. When I checked the Advanced part of "Word Options" the tick was already in place against "warn me before saving new version of Normal". Nevertheless, my computer now asks my permission before saving a new version of Normal, which it did not before - odd! Finally, the keyboard shortcuts seem now to be preserved when I reload Word, at least they work as expected, but when I return to the "keyboard shortcut customize" panel they are still not shown as already assigned to their respective Macros. Can you explain or is it Gremlins in my machine? -- Still Grappling "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Grappler, Search to see how many Normal.Dot* files you locate and in what locations.
