Hi kyjac85,

The problems with using SendKeys usually fall into two categories: (a) the solution is often tied to a specific version of the underlying application (and may even require a specific configuration of that application); and (b) timing, where the keystroke sequence (which relies on working with the user interface) is transmitted too fast for the application to process. Neither of those is likely to apply here, as we're dealing with a single keystroke combination.

In coding the SendKeys command, I assumed the Ctrl-Alt-T sequence could be executed from within Word. However, as it involves another (as yet unnamed) program, what might actually be required (if that program supports it) is automating that program from Word. That would require an entirely different approach.
