Printing a Key Assignment List

When you are customizing Word, you can assign certain styles, macros, and commands to different key assignments. Word allows you to print a list of what has been assigned to certain keys. To do this, follow these steps if you are using Word 2010 or a later version:

  1. Press Ctrl+P. Word displays the File tab of the ribbon, with the Print option selected at the left side of the screen.
  2. Click the first option under the Settings category and choose Key Assignments. (You may have to scroll down through the list to find it.) (See Figure 1.)

    3. Figure 1. Specifying you want to print key assignments.

  3. Click the Print button. Word prints the desired information.

If you are using Word 2007, follow these steps, instead:

  1. Press Ctrl+P. Word displays the Print dialog box. (See Figure 2.)

    2. Figure 2. The Print dialog box.

  2. In the Print What box, select Key Assignments.
  3. Click on OK.

Thank you for this tip. I was looking for a way to do this for some time, and this came very handy.

On my machine I found keys ***still*** assigned to old macros as well as to styles that I have deleted. This enabled me to do some cleanup.
