The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Word 6.0 for Windows does not include any assigned key combinations to close toolbars or the Font Selector using the keyboard.

WORKAROUND

You can create a macro to close a toolbar and then assign it a key combination. For example, you can use the macro below to close the Borders toolbar.


 Sub MAIN
  ViewToolbars .Toolbar = "borders", .Hide
 End Sub

NOTE: You cannot create a macro to close Font Selector with a key combination.

After you create and name the macro, you can assign it to a key combination. To do so, first choose Customize from the Tools menu and select the Keyboard tab. From the Categories list box, select Macros, and then select the newly named macro from the Macros list box. In the Press New Shortcut Key box, type the key combination you want to assign to the macro and then choose the Assign button.
