Have you selected "All Commands" under categories (on the left) - you will
need to scroll down to find it. It rather sounds like you have selected
"File".

FileNewDefault does not show up on the list . . . but when I type in ctrl
+
N, it shows up as the command to which it's currently assigned . . . I see
FileNew and FileNewContext . . . p.s. thanks for taking the time to answer
on
a Sunday!

help but I doubt it's specific enough for this one.

Tools Customize Keyboard...
Select All Commands in the categories list on the left
Scroll down the commands list on the right and select FileNewDefault
Click on Ctrl+N in the current keys list
Press Remove.

A quick tip on finding the command name to look for:
Select any command in the Keyboard Dialog (the default when it's first
displayed is good enough)
Click in the "Press New Shortcut Key" box
Press the key combination you are interested in (in this case Ctrl+n)
The legend "Currently assigned to" will appear under the current keys
box
And the name of the command (or "[unasigned]") will appear beside it,
under
the "press new shortcut key" box.
You can then locate the command in the All Commands list, as described
above.

I want to remove the Ctrl + N shortcut key from Word (I keep hitting
it
accidentally, and never use it to open a "New Blank Document" anyway).
I
tried following the instructions in Help, but the key does not show up
on
the
current shortcut list in Tools-Customize. I even tried adding it and
then
removing it, and I still get a new document when I hit Ctrl + N.
