You can assign or edit shortcut keys for the current application or for all Office applications. To assign a key for all applications, choose the Office radio button in the top right corner.

To assign or modify a shortcut key: select a command in the Function list, select the key combination to be assigned in the Shortcut Keys list, then click Modify.
