How do I create a NEW keyboard shortcut in Word (for Mac 2011)?
I am trying to figure out how to create a new keyboard shortcut in Word (using Office for Mac 2011). When I say "new," I mean a shortcut not listed under Tools>Customize Keyboard.
Specifically, I want a shortcut for applying the "Heading 4" format. The shortcuts for ApplyHeading1, ApplyHeading2, and ApplyHeading3 are all listed. But ApplyHeading4, 5, etc. are not listed and I can't figure out how to add them. Really, I can't figure out how to add a shortcut that isn't already listed. I would really appreciate any advice on how to do this. |

I don't believe that Word 2011 has a Tools > Customize Keyboard.
I am assuming (mistake) that Word 2011, which I have never seen, works much like Word 2010. Try Customize the Ribbon > Keyboard (button). You should find this under File > Word Options or Options. There are commands: ApplyHeading1, ApplyHeading2, and ApplyHeading3. There are no built-in commands for the other heading styles. You will need macros. I recorded macros for this and put them in a template which can be stored in the Word Startup Folder that gives keyboard shortcuts. The macros follow this pattern: Code:
Sub ApplyHeading5() ' ' ApplyHeading5 Macro ' Applies Heading Style 5 to selection ' Recorded by Charles Kenyon Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 5") End Sub Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 03-21-2014 at 04:56 PM. Reason: change to permanent link |
