Create shortcut key text for a built-in toolbar button or menu command

This procedure only creates the shortcut key text. It doesn't assign the action you want the key to perform.

1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.
   
   
2. Show the toolbar or menu bar you want to work with, if it isn't already displayed.

   How?

3. With the Customize dialog box open, right-click the built-in toolbar button or menu command you want to specify shortcut text for.
   
   
4. Click Properties on the shortcut menu.
   
   
5. In the Shortcut Text property box, type the shortcut key or key combination that you want to display. (The Shortcut Text property isn't available for custom buttons or commands.)

Notes

• For a command on a menu, the shortcut key text appears to the right of the command. For a toolbar button, the shortcut key text appears in the ToolTip, and only if you have selected the Show Shortcut Keys In ScreenTips box on the Options tab (Customize dialog box). For more information, click .
