How do I assign a hotkey to a macro? I would have though this should be easy, but my "google" searches have not provided me with an answer that works. My primary concern is this: How to I ensure that I pick a hotkey that is not otherwise reserved? I would have thought that Word would automatically prevent me from assigning a reserved hotkey, but this is not the case (I successfully assigned Ctrl-F to a macro, and Ctrl-F is reserved).

Thanks - based on other stuff I have read, it appears that Word does not prevent me from over-writing an existing hotkey.

That's quite true. No Office app applies such restrictions, simply because there can be perfectly good reasons for wanting to re-assign or even disable some keyboard shortcuts.
