Shift F7 Question
All of a sudden in Word 2007 some of the shortcut keys don't work, like Shift
F7. Anyone know why? P.S. I have a wireless keyboard if that makes any difference. Thanks. |

You can still call the thesaurus from the ribbon? Maybe you have a laptop and need to toggle the fn key? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fn_key If the shortcut really was hosed, you could go to the Office pizza (top left), Word options... Customize, then click on the button for the keyboard shortcuts at the bottom. Then check out "All commands ToolsThesaurusRR", and reassign Shift+F7 as the keyboard shortcut. Regards, Klaus |

Shift F7 Question
Since you mention a wireless keyboard, it's likely not a laptop g
BTW, I usually use the context (right-click) menu, since my hand is on the mouse most of the time. Klaus |

Shift F7 Question
Gets me all of the time when I try to use Alt+F9 to display field codes and
instead see all of the keyboard shortcuts. It also got to Steve Ballmer who said that if he could find the guy that invented the F-Lock (or at least made it necessary to use it to be able to use the Function keys), he would shoot him. I guess there is probably somewhere that you can set Windows to start with the F-Lock on, but I haven't taken the time to look. -- Hope this helps.
