Problem with cutting/pasting using Ctrl shortcuts
I use alot of Word docs in my transcription job and was always able to
copy/paste these docs into my job's inbox by just clicking inside the document (usually many pages worth) and then doing Ctrl A and then Ctrl C, which of course highlighted the entire doc in blue and then I could paste it into where it needed to go.... Recently, however, for no reason whatsoever and I have done nothing new to my Word system, this does not work....all i get is a "boink" type sound when I try to do this. And nothing happens. I really need this function, as now I am having to do the highlight thing with the mouse and then hold and tab up and this is taking alot of needless time! Any thoughts as to why and how to get back this feature of copying and pasting using the Ctrl A and C buttons? I just now tried the Word "help" feature and went to their shortcuts section and it said to use Ctrl C and then Ctrl V but even this is not working..... any thoughts or help is appreciated. Please email me privately as I get the messages faster! thanks! |

Problem with cutting/pasting using Ctrl shortcuts
Which part doesn't work?
CTRL+A should highlight all the document. CTRL+C should copy tyhe highlighted text to the clipboard. CTRL+V should paste the clipboard contents at the cursor. Does CTRL+A and CTRL+C work in other applications?

yes, the Ctrl functions seem to work in other areas, for instance i just
tried it on this post and it highlighted it with Ctr A...it just isn't working at all in word, none of the Ctrl functions...Ctrl A is not even highlighting anything...it just sits there and then makes a beep noise "Graham Mayor" wrote: Which part doesn't work?

Problem with cutting/pasting using Ctrl shortcuts
Open Tools | Customize and click Keyboard... With any command selected (it
doesn't matter which), type Ctrl+A into the box for "Press new shortcut key," then see what is displayed for "Currently assigned to." It should be EditSelectAll. If it's not, select All Command in the Categories list, scroll down to EditSelectAll and type Ctrl+A in the box and click Assign. Repeat for Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc., to assign the correct commands. -- Suzanne S.

If that doesn't fix it, rename normal.dot to oldnormal.dot.

button you are referring to? I am new to MS Word 2007, and did not find a "Tools" "Customize button. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Open Tools | Customize and click Keyboard...
