Chris,
This is how to add your own hotkeys in Word 2002. I don't know if its
the same for other versions. I work on an Italian version of Word so
some of the names for the various parts of the process may be slightly
different in English.
1. Go to View menu and select Tool bar and tab all the way down until
you get to customise.
2. This should land you on the "Options" page of a multi-page dialogue.
Tab down until you get to "keyboard".
3. Pressing "keyboard" will bring you to a list box of the menu
headings under which the command you are interested in is classified
(File, Edit etc. etc.).
4. Once you have arrowed to the menu you want press tab and there is a
long list of commands grouped under that menu heading. Again use the
arrow keys to find the command you want (if you know the first letter of
the action name you can press that letter to jump to that part of the
list).
5. Once you have found the command you want tab again and you will hear
something like "current key combination" which should tell you if a
hotkey already exists for the command you have selected. I find Jaws
does not announce this automatically and to read current hotkeys (if
there are any) you have to arrow up or down for it to tell you. If you
want to replace the existing key combination see point 8 below.
6. If there are no pre-existing hotkeys or you want just to add your
own combination to the one (or more) which already exists for the action
you are interested in, press tab again and you will be prompted to enter
the combination you want. Press the key combination you wantand then
tab again.
7. This will take you to an "assign" button which you press to assign
the hotkey and it will take you back to the command you selected. At
this point you can exit by tabbing until you get to "close".
8. If the command you have selected has a current key combination which
you want to replace or (as often happens with me) you have made a
mistake and want to change a combination you have previously added,
select the combination you want to delete in the "current key
combination" list and tab twice. This should take you to a remove
button which you press and will return you to your selected command and
the current key combination should have been deleted. You can now add
your own combination by following the steps described under 6 or 7
above.
I hope this works for you.
Best wishes
Robert
