I have it on my toolbar but how would I assign a keyboard shortcut to it?

2. Select the Commands tab
3. Click the Rearrange Commands button
4. Select Toolbat
5. Select the toolbar with your button from the pulldown
6. Under Controls select your button
7. Click the Modify Selection button
8. Select Name
9. Enter an ampersand (i.e. &) before the letter that will be the hotkey. The selection must be unique (i.e. cannot be in use by another control)
Pressing ALT+YourLetter will activate the button (i.e. behave as if you clicked it)

I can't get it to work. I tried a few with no luck. I consulted a list of shortcuts (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP030842231033.aspx) and after trying a few letters I picked &8 because it was unassigned.

Oops. I think it should be CTRL+Key instead of ALT+Key.
