You can save keyboard shortcuts in the document itself; you must just select
the document in the "Save changes in" box in the Customize Keyboard dialog.
And be aware that this may cause the document to trigger a macro warning.

If I assign keyboard short to a document and update the template, is there
any chance these hot keys can travel with the document.

If not ... any suggestions. I have a document that many contribute to and
it would be nice if they had the hot keys.

Alternatively, will I have to send them my normal.dot (would rather not).

Thanks.
