RTL keyboard shortcut that shouldn't exist
I'm working on a bilingual English/Farsi document at the moment.
There's a keyboard command that is affecting the text that I can't find anywhere in Word, and I'm wondering if it's actually not part of Word at all. The Farsi text is specified as right-to-left in the Paragraph Options window. When I hold down Control and Shift on the right side of the keyboarard, if I can possibly avoid it, so any advice is welcome.d and let them go, it changes the paragraph to left-to-right. It doesn't happen when I use the Control and Shift on the right side of the keyboard. When I generate a list of all commands using the macro ListCommands, there are lots of keyboard commands that are Ctrl+Shift+ another letter, but none that are Ctrl+Shift by itself (and no LeftCtrl+Shift+anything at all). This is a fresh install of Word 2003 on a fresh install of Windows XP, with a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. Is this maybe being caused by my keyboard? It happens even when I remove the Intellitype drivers for the keyboard, so it should be behaving like a standard 101 keyboard, but you never know. Any ideas? I almost completely trashed the Farsi before I figured out what was going on; thank heavens for hundreds of layers of Undo. I'd rather not try to retrain myself to always use the ones on the right side of the keybo Thanks in advance, Joel |

Hi Joel,
As a guess, it may be coming not from Word but from the Windows Language toolbar 'hotkey' for switching keyboard languages. Ctrl+Left Shift is one of the keysets you can activate for use in the Windows Control Panel for selecting a language. ======= "JoelAtWork" wrote in message oups.com...

RTL keyboard shortcut that shouldn't exist
Sorry, I try to cover everything I've tried before I post a question,
but I missed this one. I turned off all of the autoswitching of keyboards & input methods; I have three different input methods installed, but I use them only rarely, so I keep thes keyboard commands turned off. Besides, the input language isn't switching when I do this. IIRC, this issue popped up before I installed Farsi & Japanese input methods. Any other ideas?
