4. In the Categories list, choose the category with the command to which
you want to assign the keyboard shortcut.
At the bottom of the list are the Macros, Fonts, AutoText, Styles, and
Common Symbols categories.

symbol name in the Commands list.

Press the actual keys. For example, if the shortcut is Ctrl+8, press the
Ctrl key and the 8 key — don’t type out C-t-r-l-+8.

“Currently assigned to” and a command name appear below the Current
Keys box. You can override the preassigned keyboard assignment by
entering a keyboard assignment of your own.
