Default 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
If you want, you can download my templates from my Downloads page. I do not know how they will translate to the Mac. The key assignments are for Ctrl+Alt+4 through Ctrl+Alt+9. I do not know whether the Mac requires a Cmd key assignment instead.
