Tools: Shortcut buttons in Word's tooltips!

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Word offers "tool tips", aka "screentips", those little balloons that  
pop up to explain what something does when you hold your mouse cursor  
above a toolbar icon. But did you know that you can get Word to also  
display the keyboard shortcut for that function? Here's how:

Open the Tools menu, and select Customize. At the bottom of the  
dialog, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Show shortcut keys in  
Screentips". Select it and away you go!

A tip of the hat to Alan Wyatt's "WordTips" newsletter, which is a  
very useful tool for those of us who grapple with Word daily. Details
