Keyboard shortcuts won't execute macros in Word 2010
Hi--I'm sure this problem has come up before, but since I installed Word 2010 (running Windows 7) my assigned keyboard shortcuts for macros won't run them. The macros will run in the macro dialogue box though. Any thoughts? Thank You. k. |

My guess is that the keyboard shortcuts did not transfer when you installed Word 2010. Keyboard shortcuts are separate things from the macros themselves. I seldom do a straight upgrade of versions so am unsure how well it works.
My preference is to store macros in a template separate from Normal.dotm. The keyboard shortcuts for those macros should be stored in the same template as should any QAT icons that go with them. That template is stored in the Word Startup Folder. That makes it a Global Template when Word is next started. When I change versions, I can simply move the template. Modifying the QAT in Microsoft Word Moving (Sharing) Customizations in Microsoft Word If you still have your original template that had the shortcuts, you might be able to use Chris Woodman's Keyboard Organizer to move them to your new template. Otherwise, you'll need to recreate them. In Word 2010 you can assign keyboard shortcuts by going to the Customize the Ribbon dialog and clicking on the Customize button in the bottom left. Be aware of which template/document these are being saved in. Again, it should be the same template as the macros themselves. |

If you just saved a macro with a shortcut assigned, will the shortcut work? If not, disregard my previous post.

I've tried to re-record the macros and assign various other shortcuts to them, but they will not run. :-(

Add-Ins in Microsoft Word Use the /a switch as shown. If they then work, the problem is an Add-In. You can try Safe mode as well, but for that you must have your macros and shortcuts stored in another template and then (1) create a document based on the template or (2) load the template as a global template. One other thing to try is storing the macros and keyboard shortcuts somewhere other than the normal template as mentioned earlier. |
