Keyboard Shortcut to check and uncheck "Show all formatting marks"

[Mike Behrens]

I can't find this command in the 'customize keyboard shortcuts' dialog box.
Maybe it's because the check box is in an unusual place:

Office Menu > Word Options Button > Display > Show All Formatting Marks

Any suggestions as to how I can attach a keyboard shortcut to check AND
uncheck this one?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

The category you want is View, the command is ShowAll.

Kind regards,
Astrid

In Word 2007, instead of the View category, the ShowAll command is in the Home
Tab category (it corresponds to the ¶ button).

And the default shortcut already assigned to the command in all versions of Word
is Ctrl+* (sometimes written as Ctrl+Shift+8). Press it repeatedly to turn the
formatting marks on and off.
