Printing a Key Assignment List

Written by Allen Wyatt (last updated August 10, 2024)

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:

Select Print from the File menu or press Ctrl+P. Word displays the Print dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
