I am using Word 2010 64-bit. I created a macro to insert a date in European format. I created a shortcut key and assigned it using Options, Customize Ribbon, Customize Keyboard Shortcuts, and saved to Normal. The keyboard shortcut works in new documents until I close Word and then restart. Then the keyboard shortcut doesn't work anymore. This worked for me in Word 2007.
