MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2005Hacking the Hover Info
I'm using Word 2000 on XP Home SP 1. When I mouse to a toolbar button, I get a little hover description of what the button does. I want the hover description to show the keyboard shortcut for the command. Can I set Word or XP to show the keyboard shortcuts? Can I hack the registry to make it do that? <*((((><{ Fishy@Ocean.Net Hi Fishy > I'm using Word 2000 on XP Home SP 1.

I got the customize option set now to show the keyboard shortcuts. Great! Unfortunately, it won't show any keyboard shortcuts that I have added myself to various commands or macros. Oh well, I can usually remember those ones. PS: What's a VBA? ??
