    Hello,

    Assign the keyboard shortcut you want to the AcceptChangesOrAdvance command in the Customize Keyboard dialog box (which you can access by clicking the Customize button at File | Options | Customize Ribbon).

    Hope this helps,

    JC

    4. Click on the Customize button next to Keyboard shortcuts at the bottom.
    5. In the Categories list, select Review Tab.
    6. In the Commands list, find and select AcceptChange.
    7. Click in the Press new shortcut key box and press the key combination you want to assign (e.g., Ctrl + Shift + A).
    8. Click Assign to set the shortcut.
    9. Repeat the process for the command that advances to the next change, which is typically NextChange.
