Removing a Macro from a Shortcut Key

You can customize Word quite a bit, just by assigning your various macros to different shortcut key combinations. Press the shortcut key, and the macro is executed post haste.

At some point, however, you may want to remove the association between the shortcut key and the macro. In order to do this, follow these steps:

1. Select Customize from the Tools menu. You will see the Customize dialog box.
2. Click on the Keyboard button. Word displays the Customize Keyboard dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Scroll through the Categories list and select the Macros category. The list at the right side of the dialog box changes to show the currently available macros.
4. In the Macros list, select the macro you want to affect. Word should display, in the Current Keys box, the list of current shortcut key assignments for the macro.
5. Select the key assignment you want to remove.
6. Click on Remove.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each change you want to make.
8. Click on Close.
