Thank you for the very fast answer.

Actually I found out another way just after asking the question here
(blush...) and since I wasn't able to find anything online, I decided
to blog about it and post a link to the blog post here. Never figured
anyone would answer me this quickly My solution is about assigning
a whole new shortcut and not leveraging the existing.

So here goes:

I like your idea, though... Neat the way all shortcuts pop up when you
press "Alt". I'll remember that.

You can, of course, assign a keyboard shortcut to any command in Word. A
possibly quicker way to get to the Customize Keyboard dialog is to click the
arrow at the end of the QAT and choose More Commands..., which opens the
Customize dialog, with the button leading to the Customize Keyboard dialog.

You can always create your own shortcut to the InsertCrossReference
command...

Office Button > Word Options > Customize tab > Customize (keyboard
shortcuts) button

Select "Insert tab" in the left hand list and scroll down the right hand
list and select "InsertCrossReference"

Place your cursor in the "Press new shortcut key" box and press the key
combination you want to use

A message below will indicate what, if anythuing, it is already assigned to
and you can then press "Assign" to assign it.

Eliasen, see the below url to a previous posting from only a month ago on
this newsgroup, that could help you, especially a technique on how to change
the default from Entire Caption to Label and Number only.
