You need to select the character to which you want to assign a
shortcut in the grid of characters. (You can only assign shortcuts to one character at a time.) On May 5, 1:50*pm, Thanh wrote: The Shortcut Key button in the Insert - Symbol - More Symbols is greyed - out, how can I enable it. I am using Word 2007 |

Thank you Peter,
Yes, I selected a character, but the Shortcut Key button is still greyed-out. "Peter T.

Hmm. Does this happen only when you're in one particular file, or in
all files? Maybe it's a corrupt file or an installation that needs repairing?

Reinstalling or updating the printer driver might also be worth trying.

Thank you Peter and Stefan,
User has multiple network printers, and I don't know if anyone else has the same problem, the last resort is to delete his profile from the pc and recreate it. While we are on the "corrupted file" subject could it be that one of his office default settings, template is corrupted. Which one? Thank you.

If the problem occurs with (virtually) all documents in Word, the Normal
template might be corrupt. Rather than trying to fix it, you may want to exit Word and then rename the template. To find normal.dotm, you can search for it in Windows (be sure to search hidden files and folders). But I'd try repairing Word/Office first and, perhaps more importantly, take a look at the printer driver.
