I cannot change my font to bold using the B button in the top bar in Word.
Also the shortcut CTRL b does not work. I have gone to options and set CTRL b
for bold, but it still does not work. The only way to bold is through menu,
which is time consuming. I could do it before, but not now. CTRL u for
underline and CTRL i for italics work as well as their buttons. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi leaha,

Any ideas I got are (in this order):

- delete Normal.dot;
- the option in the Help-menu that says something like 'Analysis and
recovery...' (I'm using a Dutch version of Word in which the option reads
'Analyse en herstel...');
- reinstall Word.

For inexplicable behavior like this, these three are always the first ones
to try.

Success,
Cooz

Rename rather than delete normal.dot, then you don't lose all your
personalisations!

Oops... I left my Dutch PS.
