Keyboard shortcut for Autocorrect Options button

When you've activated Autoformat Options (as you type) you can get that nice "flyover" button ("Autocorrect Options"). When you click the button you have some options e.g. undo the autoformatting. I wish there was a shortcut key to do the same, just like the Paste Options button which can be activated by pressing the Ctrl-key.

 

I know you can just type Ctrl+Z to undo the latest change, but I want to see the same options menu provided after clicking the button with the mouse.

I know there are ways to get the autocorrect dialog, but again, I just want the button activated by a keyboard shortcut.

 

Is that possible?

I checked several post like below, but those don't answer my question.

Answer

If you assign a shortcut to the ToolsAutoCorrect command you’ll just see a single tab of the AutoFormat/AutoCorrect options dialog. This dialog has the following tabs:

AutoFormat

Actions

AutoCorrect (as shown by the ToolsAutoCorrect command)

Math AutoCorrect

AutoFormat As You Type

 

When I click the AutoCorrect Options button a menu is shown with three options (i.c. automatic bulleting):

Undo Automatic Numbering

Stop Automatically Creating Numbered Lists

Control AutoFormat Options…

 

The good news is I found the answer myself, not via the community, but in the Help file.:

 

Display the menu or message for an available action or for the AutoCorrect Options button or the Paste options button. If more than one action is present, switch to the next action and display its menu or message. ALT+SHIFT+F10

Not as easy as Ctrl for the Paste Options, but hey, I'm not complaining.

Thanks for trying to help me.
