FWIW, uninstalling and reinstalling rarely accomplishes anything because it
does not change Normal.dot, the Registry, add-ins, or the printer driver. It
seems you have investigated everything with the possible exception of
add-ins; see

Also, if you are using a non-English version of Office, this might be a
factor.

mazorj,
Tks for the reply and for taking the time to run through the procedures.
I've tried renaming Normal.dot to oldNormal.dot....but when I restarted
Word....still couldn't chage the keys. Thus my question about downloading
a
Normal.dot file.
If I had the original disks for my OFFICE SUITE I would have re-installed
it....but after 4 moves in the past 8 yrs....latest one to and from the
Philippines...I haven't been able to locate the disks yet.
I haven't tried any of the other sites....might just purchase a new laptop
new week and then purchase the latest Office package from best-buy.
The shortcut key problem isn't a showstopper but it's a PIA..lol. Lucky
for
me that I was able to create a 7,500+ Tagalog word/vocabulary list before
having any problems. Gives me some time before I need to expand the list.
Will post my final solution to the problem once I've made a decision.
Maybe
I'll get lucky and find the disks.
Tks again!
