When I open "symbols" in Microsoft Office Word 2003 and try to assign a new
shortcut key to the "É" ("E" with accent; character code 00C9) in Spanish,
the program will not show me the existing shortcut key combination in the
"Press new shortcut key" box, so that I may modify it, which is what I wish
to do. I am using the Latin American keyboard setup, but I wouldn't think
that this would cause me to be unable to type in a new key combination at
all. Please let me know if you know how I could reassign the shortcut key
for this character.

The existing shortcut key is Ctrl+', e. See
