Assign Key via VBA?

[ptmuldoon]

I know how to assign a shortcut key to a macro via the Options Menu in Word. But is it possible to assign the shortcuy key on Word's startup?

Essentially, I am creating a macro that will go in the user's Word Startup folder for all employees in my office. But he/she should not need to assign the macro key shortcut on their own.



Thus, I'm trying to assign a shortcut key and/or a quickaccess menu item to run the when word opens.

I think its possible, i'm just not the strongest with Word and VBA, with google being my main source of help so far (and macropod !)

I think i'm close with this, but when I copy the dotm file to the start folder of another pc, its not working. It appears as if the file is not even opening when I start Word, although it is in the correct start folder as well.

Sub AutoOpen()
     With Application
         ' \\ Do customization in THIS document
         ' .CustomizationContext = ThisDocument
         
         ' \\ Add keybinding to this document Shorcut: Alt+0
        .KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyControl, wdKeyAlt, wdKeyL), _
        KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
        Command:="ChangeFileLinks"
    End With

End Sub

Change your macro name to AutoExec
