keyboard shortcuts for pause, rewind, play, fast forward?

Don Lipper

Since I'm sure you all cleanup audio transcripts like I
do, I'm sure you find it annoying to stop typing to move
the cursor to the playback toolbar to pause or rewind the
playback.

Is there a way to assign shortcut keys to the playback
functions (play, pause, rewind, fast forward, record,
stop)?

Thanks,
Don

Don,

Enter "keyboard accelerator" into OneNote Help and that should display
a link to information about this.

Andrew,
I followed the instructions (below) exactly but could not
get the audio commands to work with the keyboard shortcuts
(Alt P for play or Alt A for Pause). Also there was no way
to assign keys to fast forward or rewind. Am I missing
something? Have you actually done it with the audio
playback functions or just know this works in theory?
Thanks,
Don

or button by pressing ALT+<single letter>. For example, to
open the Edit menu, press ALT+E.

How?

In the Customize dialog box, click the Toolbars tab.
Select the check box for the toolbar you want to display.
In the Customize dialog box, click the Commands tab.

Click Rearrange Commands.
Do one of the following:

Assign or change a toolbar button's keyboard accelerator

In the Rearrange Commands dialog box, click Toolbar.
In the Toolbar list, click the toolbar that contains the

In the Name box on the shortcut menu, type a name for the
toolbar button with an ampersand (&) before the letter
that you want as the keyboard accelerator.

Press ENTER.
