For example, I have to use the "§" a lot and it would be nice to have it assigned to a permanent hotkey so I can paste it whenever I need to into a document. Is that possible?
You could type ALT+0167 from the numeric keypad but I would probably save it as an autocorrect entry for (say) #s -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Wormsbaby wrote: > For example, I have to use the "§" a lot and it would be nice to have > it assigned to a permanent hotkey so I can paste it whenever I need > to into a document.

If you are using the Insert | Symbol dialog to insert the section symbol, perhaps you have not noticed the Shortcut Key... button at the bottom that opens the Customize Keyboard dialog, in which you can assign a shortcut key for any selected symbol. The section symbol is one that is listed on the Special Characters tab, so it is easy to select it there and then click Shortcut Key... -- Suzanne S.
