Feedback to Microsoft
Does anyone know if MS takes feedback for correcting errors for its office
suite? I found a tiny mistake with Word 2007. When you hover over the Grow Font button on the Home ribbon, it shows a shortcut key of Ctrl + . When the shortcut key is actually Ctrl + Shift + . I know it is minor but it may help someone along the way. |

Wouldn't that depend on your keyboard layout?

So you can't really give keyboard shortcuts in terms of the character
shown -- the one we use a lot here, Show Non-Printing Characters, has to be given as Ctrl-Shift-8 because the asterisk is in different places on other keyboards, but the shortcut doesn't follow the asterisk around the keyboard. I have sort of accidentally made this discovery: If I'm in a keyboard for a different script entirely (Sinhala was the one I was most recently using), my keyboard shortcuts for accented letters still work: Ctrl-Alt-Hyphen, e still gives an e with macron.
