Shortcut keys not working
Hi there
I have a document where I have created some styles that have shortcuts. Pretty basic so far. If I open the document on my laptop the shortcuts do not work. If I open the document on my friend's laptop the shortcuts work. Why would this be? If we look at the shortcut assignment on my friend's laptop the shortcut key is assigned to the document - not to normal.dot. So shouldn't this work regardless of whose computer we use to open the document? Is this due to a corruption of some sort? We are both running Office 2003. Carolyn |

Shortcut keys not working
Hi Kaz,
I have a document where I have created some styles that have shortcuts. Pretty basic so far. If I open the document on my laptop the shortcuts do not work. If I open the document on my friend's laptop the shortcuts work. Why would this be? If we look at the shortcut assignment on my friend's laptop the shortcut key is assigned to the document - not to normal.dot. So shouldn't this work regardless of whose computer we use to open the document? Indeed, this is a mystery. I had a system, once, where all of a sudden all my customized keyboard assignments stopped working. And then they began working again. And every few months someone comes to the newsgroups with the same problem - but we've never tracked down the cause... However, it wouldn't hurt for you to try the basic trouble-shooting step of starting Word in Safe Mode to see if the shortcuts work with the installation defaults. If they do, then you can be fairly certain you're looking for an Add-in that's interfering.

Shortcut keys not working
Hi Kaz,
did you connect the shortcuts with the normal.dot or any other template? That might be a hint. Octavee "kaz" wrote in message ups.com...
