Everytime I assign new shortcuts from insert-symbols they only work for one
session. After I restart Microsoft Word I have to assign them again - why
aren't they saved or do I have to activate a feature?

From the FAQ:

28. I can't save my customizations - AutoText, menus, etc.
Can't save normal.dot...
If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm.
Otherwise, hold down the Shift key when selecting the File
menu and select Save All.

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem. I am able to insert new symbols (and assign
keys) but everything gets lost when i researt session. I do not understand
why you mentioned acrobat below ( i don't see the relevance). In any case, i
use acrobat 9.

Thanks.

Acrobat is mentioned because some of its add-ins prevent Normal.dot from
being saved (shortcut key assignments are stored in Normal.dot).
