How do I associate a shortcut key combination to a macro in Word 2007?

Question

I've created a macro that inserts a reference to a table When I did the macro, I configured the access to this macro through a button. But, now I want to change it to use the keyboard instead of icons. Does anyone know how to change from icon to a keyboard access?

The easiest approach is to create a new macro with the required keyboard shortcut, move the content from your old macro to the new one, and delete the old one.
