SHORTCUT KEY:  It is extremely useful to create a shortcut key in Word/WordPerfect, such as a function key, to open up D-List. According to your security settings, macro setup may have failed on installation.  Please first install a macro according to the instructions above and then proceed to creating a shortcut key.  Please note:  Instructions may vary slightly according to which version of Word/WordPerfect you are using.  For more instructions, please refer to the Help guide for those programs.

For Microsoft Word:
1.  Select Tools → Customize
2.  Select the Commands tab and select the Keyboard button at the bottom.
3.  A new window will appear.  Under the Categories window, scroll down and select Macros
4.  Under the Macros window, select DList
5.  Click in the text area for Press New Shortcut Key.  Press the key(s) for which shortcut key you wish to use (function keys work best).  After you press the key(s), it will tell you what the shortcut key is current assigned for, in case you do not want to override an existing useful shortcut key.
6.  Underneath the Save Changes In box, make sure Normal is selected.  Click Assign. 
7.  Go back to the main window in Word and press the shortcut key to test it.

For Corel WordPerfect:
1.  Click Tools → Settings.  Click Customize.
2.  In the Customize settings dialog box, click the Keyboards tab.

4.  In the Keyboard shortcuts dialog box, choose a shortcut key from the Choose a shortcut key list.
4.  Click the Programs tab.  Click Assign program to key. 
5.  In the Open file dialog box, select a program to be run when the shortcut key is pressed.  (D-List will be saved to C://Program Files/Transcription Galaxy/D-List by default)
