Keybindings are document level functions. That is, they work in the document that has that keybinding. If the document does not have the keybinding...it does not have the keybinding.



That being said, if both documents are generated from the same template, and that template has the keybinding AND the keybinding is set with the Document_New event - when the template creates a new document - then the keybinding will work in both.

Code:

Private Sub Document_New()
CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyReturn), _
      KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, Command:="EnterKeyMacro"
End Sub

I must say though that using the Enter key like this is very limited unless you also add code to make the Enter key acts like a normal Enter key. Otherwise it will NEVER act like a normal enter key.

Granted, but this is a long-established technique for making the Enter key behave in the same way as the Tab key when working with formfields. What's been posted so far should be part of a larger project. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211219/en-au

Depending on what template is being used, the code may need to be coupled with an Application.DocumentChange Event macro that detects when the user switches documents and does some testing to determine whether to enable or disable the keybindings as per the code in the link.
