Finbar_Peasant If you right click on the Select Objects item, you can then Left Click on "Add to Quick Access Toolbar"
To make it even more accessible, set the Quick Access Toolbar to be displayed below the ribbon

thanks so much for the reply. What i meant though was assigning it a hotkey- like ctrl-p, or alt-x for instance- is there no way to do that? Thanks-

I think that Doug has given you the best solution, even though it is not exactly what you want.
Often with a situation like this, I will record or write a macro and assign a shortcut to that. Recording does not work with this and I do not know that this command has been added to vba.
Like you, I prefer keyboard shortcuts to mouse movements, but you can only do what you can do.

It is possible that a third-party key assignment program can do this, but I haven't tried.
You can and should give Feedback to MS about this and perhaps get it added to the vba object model for Word. Giving Feedback on Microsoft Word or other Microsoft Products
