Question for any Microsoft Word experts out there...........Help please!?

I need to set up my F6 key so that when I strike it, my cursor will automatically go to any asterisks in every document that I bring up. My work documents are loaded with asterisks %26amp; it would be very convenient to get there by using the F6 key to do this. I can only use this key, as all the others are assigned important functions for my job. Also, it would be very convenient to have this set up for templates that I need to create which will have asterisks in them that I will need to jump to quickly. I cannot figure how to do this. I have been looking all over the place %26amp; can't make heads or tails of it. I think it might have to do with creating a macro or mapping out the F6 key, but I am stumped. Anybody know how to do this?

Using the keyboard



1. Press ALT+F, I to open the Word Options dialog box.



2. Press DOWN ARROW to select Customize, and then press the TAB key to move to the Customize the Quick Access Toolbar and keyboard shortcuts pane.



3. Press the TAB key repeatedly until Customize is selected, and then press ENTER.



4. In the Categories box, press DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW to highlight the category that contains the command or other item that you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to or remove a keyboard shortcut from, and then press SPACEBAR.

Do one of the following:



ShowAssign a keyboard shortcut



Begin keyboard shortcuts with CTRL or a function key.



1. Press the TAB key repeatedly until the cursor is in the Press new shortcut key box, and then press the combination of keys that you want to assign. For example, press CTRL plus the key that you want to use.



2. Look at Currently assigned to to see if the combination of keys is already assigned to a command or other item. If so, select a different combination.



Important Reassigning a combination of keys means that you can no longer use the combination for its original purpose. For example, pressing CTRL+B changes selected text to bold. If you reassign CTRL+B to a new command or other item, you will not be able to make text bold by pressing CTRL+B unless you restore the keyboard shortcut assignments to their original settings by clicking Reset All.
