Yes THERE (not their) is:
1. Navigate in Explorer to whatever document.
2. RIGHT-click, drag to desktop, and select "Create shortcut(s)
here".
3. Right-click on new shortcut, select Properties. Click into
"Shortcut Key" box and press the key combination you want. Click OK.
If you don't want to clutter your desktop, then right-click on the
Start button, select Explore, navigate to a folder somewhere under
Start Menu -> Programs (or create one), and drag your new shortcuts
into it. Shortcut keys (created in step 3 above) must be on desktop
or in start menu to be effective, if I recall correctly.
