Assigning shortcut keys
In addition to using the built-in keyboard shortcuts (listed in Appendix
A), you can define your own. You can assign shortcuts to standard OOo
functions or your own macros and save them for use with the entire
OpenOffice.org suite.
Caution
Be careful when reassigning your operating system’s or OOo’s
predefined shortcut keys. Many key assignments are universally
understood shortcuts, such as
F1
for Help, and are always
expected to provide certain results. Although you can easily
reset the shortcut key assignments to the OOo defaults,
changing some common shortcut keys can cause confusion,
frustration and possible data loss or corruption, especially if
other users share your computer.
To adapt shortcut keys to your needs, use the Customize dialog, as
described below.
1) Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard. The Customize dialog
opens.
2) To have the shortcut key assignment available in all components
of OpenOffice.org select the OpenOffice.org button.
3) Next select the required function from the
Category
and
Function
lists.
4) Now select the desired shortcut keys in the
Shortcut keys
list and
click the Modify button at the upper right.
5) Click OK to accept the change. Now the chosen shortcut keys will
execute the function chosen in step 3 above whenever they are
pressed.
