Assigning shortcut key to macro

[Guest]

Hi,

I've got a template that contains an elaborate set of macros. I have a
button which I want to assign a shortcut for that will execute a macro. It's
something I've done many times but this particular file doesn't seem to
recognize it. I switched shortcuts to see if the problem was the actual
shortcut I had chosen, with no impact. None of the shortcuts I was trying to
assign were originally assigned to anything. I did it a few minutes ago to
the french version of the macro without a problem.

One difference I noticed between the two files when I went back to check the
assignment was that the successful one showed the macro name as read-only
text on the assignment screen, whereas the unsuccessful one did not. Both
showed the keyboard shortcut in the 'current keys' listbox.

I'm using Word 2000. Any ideas?

I have experienced the same problem once and tried all kinds of things in
order to make the shortcut work. Finally, I found that it helped renaming the
macro itself - you may want to try this too.
