Ctrl-Shift-Space Doesn't Work Any More
I saw a posting on this subject recently, but now I can't find it.
A lady I work with recently installed a new scanner. Now, Ctrl-Shift-Space opens the scanner application instead of giving her a nonbreaking space. She and I tried to customize her keyboard and reassign that key combination to the nonbreaking space, but we couldn't find a command for nonbreaking space under the Edit, Insert, or Format lists. We tried to set her Autocorrect Options to change three spaces (something she'd never use) to a nonbreaking space, but it wouldn't ever activate the Add control with only spaces in the fields. What's the workaround to get her nonbreaking spaces back again? Thanks for the help. Fred |

In the Customize Keyboard dialog, set the category to Common Symbols (the last one in the list). The nonbreaking space is in right-hand list, between the Registered symbol and the Paragraph symbol. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

But that will almost certainly not help if another application has hijacked
the shortcut "upstream," as it were (I tend to keep forgetting that if I have the player for my digital voice recorder paused and use F4 for Repeat in Word, it instead starts up the player again). Instead, it will be necessary to either assign a different combination to the nonbreaking space or see if it's possible to assign a different shortcut in the scanner software. -- Suzanne S.
