Word Add-In Keybinding

[Bill E.]

I'm working on a Word Add-In written in VB 6.0. My
question is. If you want to assign a keybinding (like you
would to a macro in VBA) how would you do that from the
add-in? What would the "command:=" syntax be?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this a "permanent" binding to the same macro? If so,
I've always just done this in the add-in template itself.
Retrieve the template, then when you assign the keybinding
through customize, make sure it states your template in
the "save changes in" drop down box.

The procedure to run is not in a template, it's in the VB
Add-in dll.

Since I don't know anything about your dll, try the VBA
help for KeyBindings - here is the first part of the help
text. You can change the customization content to point
to the active template also with Active
Document.ActiveTemplate:

Returns a KeyBindings collection that represents
customized key assignments, which include a key code, a
key category, and a command.

expression.KeyBindings

expression Required. An expression that returns one of
the objects in the Applies To list.

Example
This example assigns the CTRL+ALT+W key combination to the
FileClose command. This keyboard customization is saved in
the Normal template.

CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyControl,
wdKeyAlt, _
wdKeyW), KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:="FileClose"
