Word wont open with shortcut key
I'm trying to cut down on mouse use, and use key strokes instead. I used to
be able to open Word with a shortcut key selected by right-clicking the Word icon, selecting PROPERTIES/SHORTCUT KEY and entering a shortcut key sequence in the SHORTCUT KEY window (e.g. CNTL+ALT+W). But this option no longer works, despite my entering the correct address in the TARGET window (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE), and entering "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11" in the START IN window. This has always worked in all the pre-2003 version of Word/Office. Thanks, Robert |

Word wont open with shortcut key
It works fine here.
You cannot select 'None' in the shortcut window. Simply insert the cursor after 'None' and press your key combination. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sagara wrote: I'm trying to cut down on mouse use, and use key strokes instead.

Word wont open with shortcut key
My problem is that I placed my short-cut icon to Word in the Taskbar. If you
then right click the Word icon in the Taskbar, click PROPERTIES, etc. and assign the shortcut key, it does not work (even after replacing the NONE with the shortcut key). But I've just found accidentally that if I then assign a shortcut key to the desktop and go through the same procedure, it works fine. If I then delete the Desktop shortcut icon, just leaving the Taskbar icon, then it does not work. Set up another shortcut to the Desktop, and it does work. So there is a difference between a shortcut icon placed in the taskbar, and one placed on the desktop. Some strange logic here! Thanks, Robert "Graham Mayor" wrote: It works fine here.

Word wont open with shortcut key
The idea of the Quick Launch toolbar is that it requires only a single click
(not double), hence (for mouse-oriented users) no need for a shortcut key. -- Suzanne S.

Word wont open with shortcut key
True, but this doesn't explain why the shortcut key does not work - it used
to work! Also, mouse clicks are mouse clicks; key presses are key presses. Due to numb left hand thro mouse use, I'm looking for more key shortcut options. But I suppose I can now just delete the Word icon from the Taskbar - but it looks nice there! Thanks, Robert "Suzanne S.
