This is really bizarre.
When I go to the Word Options, Proofing, AutoCorrect list, there only a few
entries for smilies and chevrons nothing for (c) or (r) and neither will
execute AutoCorrect (no surprise). Alt+Ctrl+r works just as it should: it is
only Alt+Ctrl+c that doesn't work. How come my AutoCorrect list isn't
populated?
Language setting made no difference.

(c) converts to © here when the language is set to English (United
Kingdom)--Word 2003 and Word 2007. So, I don't think language is the
issue. Did you verify that the shortcut exists in the AutoCorrect list?

No add-ins or other software like SnagIt to do this. Other symbol
shortcuts work, (r) registered for instance. But for the copyright, I can
only get it by using Insert Symbol and choosing the (c) symbol, or using
Alt+0164. This is will good old Arial font, so I am sure it isn't font
related.
It is the same in Safe Mode too. I wonder if it a language thing: I'll
try English (US) and report back.
Jean-Guy... I'm using 2007.

Strangely, I cannot get Alt+Ctrl+C to work either. Word says it is
the assigned shortcut. I've tried removing it and tried to reassign
it, but Ctrl+Alt+C stubbornly refused to let me enter it into the
Enter New Shortcut box.
There's something fishy with that keyboard combination. It just isn't
working.
Are you on 2007?
Right here right now, on word 2003, it works as advertised...
ALT-CTRL-C does insert a © at the cursor location...
I have both 2003 and 2007 running on the same PC (using the NoReReg
entry to avoid clashes), and Ctrl+Alt+C works in both of them.
Terry, do you have some other software such as SnagIt that might be
snatching the shortcut before Word can see it?
