restore Word 2007 macro
I accidentally saved a macro I created over a built-in macro in Word 2007. It
was Ctrl-O for open file. I tried to re-create it, but it doesn't work. Is there a way to restore it to the original macro? Thanks in advance. |

restore Word 2007 macro
Hi leAnne,
Easy: reload a backup copy of your original file. But if you don't keep backups, consider this a valuable lesson about the importance of doing so. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "LeAnne" wrote in message ...

restore Word 2007 macro
I have a backup drive, but where can I find the file, or what would it be
called? "macropod" wrote: Hi leAnne, Easy: reload a backup copy of your original file.

restore Word 2007 macro
What exactly have you done? Word doesn't have 'built-in macros'.
Did you create a macro and name it FileOpen - in which case rename it to something else eg MyFileOpen. or Did you reassign the CTRL+O shortcut to another function? In this case reassign the shortcut to the File Open function from the keyboard shortcuts customize tool on the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) editor dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LeAnne wrote: I accidentally saved a macro I created over a built-in macro in Word 2007.

restore Word 2007 macro
Hi LeAnne,
Graham's right about the 'built-in' macro issue. Unless you're referring to a macro attached to a template you've been using, perhaps you've just messed up the Ctrl-O keyboard shortcut. These are normally held in your Normal.dot template. To re-establish the Ctrl-O keyboard shortcut: .. press Alt-t, c to open up the customisation dialogue box .. choose Commands Keyboard .. choose the 'File' category then the 'FileOpen' command You should now see the keyboard shortcuts for FileOpen. The defaults are Ctrl-O, Ctrl-F12 and Ctrl-Alt-F12. If Ctrl-O is missing, simply add it back in. If its still there, then the problem is elsewhere - perhaps in a FileOpen macro in the underlying template. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "LeAnne" wrote in message ...

restore Word 2007 macro
Yes, that's exactly what I did. Guess it would help if I knew the right
terminology. I can't find the keyboard shortcuts customization tool on the toolbar. Can't use Ctrl-t like macropod told me because I reassigned that ot something else too.
