KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyM), KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:=”SwitchM”

End With

With Application
CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyN), KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, _
Command:=”SwitchN”

End With

End Sub

Sub SwitchM()
Dim x As Document
