Keyboard shortcuts
In Word 2007, there appear to be some inconsistencies in the keyboard
shortcut management utility. Once I located the Customize Keyboard utility: Office button (alt-f) Word Options (alt-i) Customize (no shortcut) Keyboard shortcuts: Customize (alt-t) I find that several features don't work properly: 1. Entering a shortcut combination into the "Press new shortcut key:" field will cause the current assignment to display below in the "Currently assigned to:" field -- usually. There are a number of assigned shortcuts that show as "unassigned", such as the Office button (alt-f) and all of the ribbon buttons (alt-h, alt-n, alt-p). 2. Go down to the bottom of the "Categories:" list to "Styles". None of the styles that have standard shortcuts assigned (c-a-1 = Head 1, c-a-2 = Head 2, c-s-n = Normal, etc.) show those assignments in the "Current keys:" field. I guess the Office developers were too busy designing ribbons to trake care of details... ;-) -- Office 2007 Pro on WinXP |

Keyboard shortcuts
Actually, it shows all Alt+* combinations free; but they are all reserved
for the system and none are really free. Word 2007 allocates Alt shortcuts all over the place right down to individual Ribbon buttons, allocating more and more to the QAT as needed. It would have made sense for alt+* to have been ignored so that the user knows they are unavailable. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "LurfysMa" wrote in message ...
