MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2005Shortcut to a button on a toolbar
Hi, How do I assign a shortcut to a button on a toolbar when the macro assigned to the button is not to (and should not) be found under Tools - Customise... - Keyboard... - Macros? / Ulf I forgot to tell that the button is also in a menu. So it does not matter if the shortcut is assigned to the button on the toolbar or in the menu. / Ulf > Hi, > How do I assign a shortcut to a button on a toolbar when the macro assigned > to the button is not to (and should not) be found under Tools - Customise... > - Keyboard... - Macros? > > / Ulf Choose Tools, Customize. Right-click the button or menu item to have a shortcut assigned. Edit the name field and place an ampersand (&) to the left of the letter that you want to be a shortcut. For example, you have a button whose caption is Symbol. Place the amperand to the left of the S. After you close out of Tools, Customize the S in Symbol will be underlined. The user can then press Alt+S to access the button or menu item. Anne P. >I forgot to tell that the button is also in a menu.

Another problem is that the shortcut, for example Alt + J, can't be assigned in that way because there is no letter J in the name. I have to choose letters that Word is not using, and that limits the options. Any more suggestion? / Ulf > Choose Tools, Customize. Right-click the button or menu item to have a > shortcut assigned.

Have you looked into keybindings?

Try something like this: CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyAlt, _ wdKeyZ), KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, _ Command:="TestModule.Main" This will assign the the ALT-Z shortcut to the Main macro in the TestModule. SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Since I work with Office XP Dev and create dll, I cannot use any template to attach any macro. Because of this, I do not think I can use KeyBindings. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I was thinking of another solution: If I press the following keys, I can access my item: Alt + e, n, i Is it possible to create such a macro in Normal.dot, that is NormalTemplate, using my macro and call it MyMacro? Then I can use keyBindings? Or can I set Alt + e, n, i instead of "TestModule.Main"? / Ulf > Ulf Nilsson was telling us: > Ulf Nilsson nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > This will assign the the ALT-Z shortcut to the Main macro in the TestModule. |
