Macro keyboard shortcut

Question

I created a Macro in an old version of Word. I recreated it for my new version (Office 365) and there used be a way of making a keyboard shortcut. I can't find that anymore! (Like Alt + Z). Is there still a way to do this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Select File > Options > Customize Ribbon.

Click the Customize... button near the bottom, next to 'Keyboard shortcuts'.

Scroll down the list of Categories and select Macros.

If your macro is in the current document, select the document from the 'Save changes in' drop down.

Select the macro in the list of Macros.

Click in the 'Press new shortcut key' box.

Press the desired keyboard shortcut.

Word will show if it is already in use in the 'Current keys' box.

Click Assign to assign the new shortcut.

While it is possible to assign a keyboard shortcut when recording a macro, I prefer to do it after the fact.
