KeyBindings Collection Object

Word Developer Reference

A collection of KeyBinding objects that represent the custom key assignments in the current context. Custom key assignments are made in the Customize Keyboard dialog box.

Remarks

Use the KeyBindings property to return the KeyBindings collection. The following example inserts after the selection the command name and key combination for each item in the KeyBindings collection.

Visual Basic for Applications
  CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
For Each aKey In KeyBindings
    Selection.InsertAfter aKey.Command & vbTab _
        & aKey.KeyString & vbCr
    Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Next aKey

Use the Add method to add a KeyBinding object to the KeyBindings collection. The following example adds the CTRL+ALT+H key combination to the Heading 1 style in the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications
  CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument
KeyBindings.Add KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryStyle, _
    Command:="Heading 1", _
    KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyControl, wdKeyAlt, wdKeyH)

Use KeyBindings(Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single KeyBinding object. The following example displays the command associated with the first KeyBinding object in the KeyBindings collection.

Visual Basic for Applications
  MsgBox KeyBindings(1).Command
