Ok, I am having the same problem. But where is the Tools and Customize
button you are referring to? I am new to MS Word 2007, and did not find a
"Tools" "Customize button.

Open Tools | Customize and click Keyboard... With any command selected
(it
doesn't matter which), type Ctrl+A into the box for "Press new shortcut
key," then see what is displayed for "Currently assigned to." It should
be
EditSelectAll. If it's not, select All Command in the Categories list,
scroll down to EditSelectAll and type Ctrl+A in the box and click Assign.
Repeat for Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc., to assign the correct commands.

yes, the Ctrl functions seem to work in other areas, for instance i
just
tried it on this post and it highlighted it with Ctr A...it just isn't
working at all in word, none of the Ctrl functions...Ctrl A is not even
highlighting anything...it just sits there and then makes a beep noise

Which part doesn't work?
CTRL+A should highlight all the document.
CTRL+C should copy tyhe highlighted text to the clipboard.
CTRL+V should paste the clipboard contents at the cursor.
Does CTRL+A and CTRL+C work in other applications?

I use alot of Word docs in my transcription job and was always able
to
copy/paste these docs into my job's inbox by just clicking inside
the
document (usually many pages worth) and then doing Ctrl A and then
Ctrl C, which of course highlighted the entire doc in blue and then
I
could paste it into where it needed to go....
Recently, however, for no reason whatsoever and I have done nothing
new to my Word system, this does not work....all i get is a "boink"
type sound when I try to do this. And nothing happens. I really
need this function, as now I am having to do the highlight thing
with
the mouse and then hold and tab up and this is taking alot of
needless time!
Any thoughts as to why and how to get back this feature of copying
and
pasting using the Ctrl A and C buttons? I just now tried the Word
"help" feature and went to their shortcuts section and it said to
use
Ctrl C and then Ctrl V but even this is not working.....
any thoughts or help is appreciated. Please email me privately as
I
get the messages faster!
thanks!
