Hacking the Hover Info

[Guest]

I'm using Word 2000 on XP Home SP 1. When I mouse to a toolbar
button, I get a little hover description of what the button does. I
want the hover description to show the keyboard shortcut for the
command.

Can I set Word or XP to show the keyboard shortcuts? Can I hack the
registry to make it do that?

Hi Fishy

I'm using Word 2000 on XP Home SP 1. When I mouse to a toolbar
button, I get a little hover description of what the button does. I
want the hover description to show the keyboard shortcut for the
command.

Can I set Word or XP to show the keyboard shortcuts? Can I hack the
registry to make it do that?

There seems to be a way to do with in VBA:

I don't have Word 2000 handy at the moment, but I think it's the same as in
2002/2003:

Open Tools > Customize and click the Options tab. At the bottom, check the
box for "Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips".

From the Word 2003 help file:
Show or hide shortcut keys in ScreenTips
1.. On the Tools menu, click Customize.

2.. Click the Options tab.

3.. Under Other, select or clear the Show ScreenTips on toolbars and
Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips check boxes.

Hallelujia! I got the customize option set now to show the keyboard
shortcuts. Great! Unfortunately, it won't show any keyboard
shortcuts that I have added myself to various commands or macros. Oh
well, I can usually remember those ones.

PS: What's a VBA? ?? Verb in active voice?

VBA=Visual Basic for Applications, the language macros are written in. So,
basically, it would mean use a macro.

We'll tell you when you tell us why you posted this in .longdocs ... ;-)

I posted in LongDocs because it's the best group, for me, to get
answers to Word questions. It has less traffic, and fewer truly basic
quesitons than the other Word groups do. Plus, I always get a good,
quick reply.

I can see your reasoning. That doesn't make it more on-topic though ... ;-)
