Short Cut Control Key in Word
I've just been upgraded to Word 2003.
I use Control+C and Control+P a lot as shortcuts to copy and Paste. The past few days when I press the Control key Word goes into Find & Replace / Go To / Comments. I have reviewed Tools Customize and have not gotten any relief. Also: When text is highlighted and I press Delete I must then press Y to delete. Whats up with this? I've never had to do this before on other Word programs. |

Short Cut Control Key in Word
Well, first of all, Ctrl+P is the default keyboard shortcut for the Print
dialog; Ctrl+V pastes. The shortcuts for the other commands you mention are Ctrl+F (Find), Ctrl+H (Replace), and Ctrl+G (GoTo). There is no built-in shortcut for inserting a comment, so I'm not sure what you're getting there. But if you're saying that the Ctrl key alone brings up the Find/Replace/GoTo dialog, then either one of your other keys is sticking or you've got the Ctrl key assigned to one of these functions. -- Suzanne S.

Short Cut Control Key in Word
Sorry, I should have said Ctrl+V to Paste.
The problem is that whenever I hit Control I get weird stuff. For instance, just now from this program (Outlook) Control poped up a Microsoft Internet Explorer window - Getting Started. From Word: Hitting Control activates Print Preview and enters a 5 into the document and pops up the Word Help sidebar Assistance window. If I press Control again the computer types 6= and moves out of Print Preview, puts the 5 or 6 into the 'Search Window' of the Assistance window. I followed the earlier advice and unchecked the WordPerfect Navigation and Help boxes. Only the Navigation box was checked. "Suzanne S.

Short Cut Control Key in Word
I think your keyboard is headed for the scrap pile. Try swapping in a
different keyboard to see whether it behaves properly. -- 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.
