Assigning template macros to keystrokes, menus, and toolbars

You can assign template macros to a keystroke, a menu, and a toolbar button. When you press the assigned keystroke, click a menu item, or click a toolbar button, the macro is launched. You can assign template macros by using macros that you have created or macros that are included with WordPerfect.

You can also edit the current menu and create a menu with the same initial settings as an existing menu.
