Missing commands in Word 2007
After "upgrading" to Word 2007, I was appalled to see that my
favorite commands have disappeared: 1) in Word 2003 you could select any word(s), press Alt+F3, enter an abbreviation, and thereafter just type the abbreviation + F3 to call up the text. That keystroke combination doesn't work in Word 2007. Does anybody know how to do it in Word 2007 (with as few keystrokes as possible, since I have to type long texts with long, repetitive words). 2) In Word 2003 you could select any word(s) and press Shift+F3 to toggle between uppercase, lowercase, and "Sentence Case". That may seem trivial, but I translate from German to English and use it all the time. There's some slow way of doing it in Word 2007 under the Home menu with the "Aa" icon, but I would appreciate if anybody could find the equivalent keystroke combination in 2007 or explain to me (for dummies!) how to progam a macro that would toggle between all three cases. Thanks in advance, TC |

Missing commands in Word 2007
2. Shift+F3 still is the toggle Case command shortcut.
1. A pain! AutoText as it was has now gone - or at least the AutoComplete popup has gone. It is now called Quick Parts and Alt+F3 still toggles the create QuickParts window. Just assign the selected whatever as AutoText and start typing the first 4 characters and press F3. Look up Quick Parts in Help for a full run down. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Technically Challenged" wrote in message ups.com...

All of the keyboard shortcuts you noted should still work in Word 2007. If
they aren't working then do you the correct keyboard driver for your keyboard? Check your Control Panel, the Keyboard properties, and the Hardware tab. If that's not it, do standard keyboard shortcuts work in other applications? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I totally agree, they SHOULD work. I don't mean to sound belligerent, but I'm amazed how people persist in ignoring the facts and talk about keyboard maps and macro names and other side issues instead of reading my question and actually comparing the effects of the keystroke combinations in Word 2003 and Word 2007. TRY THIS: Select a Word in Word 2003 and press Shift+F3. At the risk of repeating myself, the selected word will rotate from lowercase to uppercase to SENTENCE CASE. Try the same thing in Word 2007 and you will see that it rotates between uppercase and lowercase ONLY, which is bad for me because the function I usually need is to transform sentence case to lowercase. Once again, I would greatly appreciate it if anybody has devised a macro to toggle between all three cases (instead of jjust TWO) TRY THIS: Select a word or sentence in Word 2003, press Alt+F3. You will see an Autotext box in which you can enter an abbreviation. Now return to your text, type the abbreviation + F3 and the whole word will appear. How anybody can claim that the same function exists under a new name (Quick Parts) in Word 2007 is beyond me! Just try the same procedure and see if it has the same effects! For the 100th time, there is no viable abbreviation system in Word 2007, which slows me down enormously and costs me a hell of a lot of money since I'm a translator who's paid by the word.

Missing commands in Word 2007
Sentence case works exactly the same for me in Word 2007 as it did in Word
2003. Maybe you have never noticed that the changes it cycles through depends on what has been selected. But if you type a single, isolated word or a group of words and use Shift+F3, it toggles through al case options as expected. If you select a whole sentence, then it only toggles through Sentence Case, lower case and AllCaps. If you want to use ToggleCase or Capitalise all words, then you need to use the tool in the Font Group. You can still create AutoText entries (yes, creating is different) but using an AT entry is identical: type the AT name and press F3. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Technically Challenged" wrote in message oups.com...

Missing commands in Word 2007
As Terry noted, both of the scenarios you describe are the same in Word
2003. If I type a single word, select it, press Shift+F3, I get lowercase, UPPERCASE and Sentence case. If I select a word or sentence, press Alt+F3 I get the Create New Building Block dialog box. I bit different than AutoText but with added functionality, finished creating the entry, click OK, and then type the name of the entry followed by F3, the Building Block is inserted in my document. Now, on the latter, it could be the name you are using. On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts and then click Building Blocks Organizer. Click the Name column to sort your entries by name. Locate one of the entries you created and see if there is another Building Block using the same name or if there is one that uses the same initial characters as those you are typing for the name.

Missing commands in Word 2007
This is hard to explain to people who don't actually need the command
for my purposes, but Shift+F3 definitely does not work the same at all in Word 2007, regardless of the default language template. Here's an example to illustrate my point. I am translating a German text into English and want to change the German "Hand in Hand" into the English "hand in hand". In Word 2003, when I select all three words and press "Shift+F3" it gives me the desired result, i.e. "hand in hand". When I try the same operation in Word 2007 I get the following useless result (and here I am pasting in the results directly from Word 2007): "hAND IN hAND", Can anybody tell me how to make a macro that will rotate properly for my purposes?

Missing commands in Word 2007
What you are seeing is tOGGLE cASE which should not be happening and must be
a bug - though I cannot simulate it probably because I am not translating text. Why not click on the Change Case tool in the Font Group or add the Change Case button to your QAT. You can then select it with the mouse or use the ALT+shortcut to select the Lower Case option. Terry "Technically Challenged" wrote in message ups.com...

This is hard to explain to people who don't actually need the command for my purposes, but Shift+F3 definitely does not work the same at all in Word 2007, regardless of the default language template. Here's an example to illustrate my point. I am translating a German text into English and want to change the German "Hand in Hand" into the English "hand in hand". In Word 2003, when I select all three words and press "Shift+F3" it gives me the desired result, i.e. "hand in hand". When I try the same operation in Word 2007 I get the following useless result (and here I am pasting in the results directly from Word 2007): "hAND IN hAND", Can anybody tell me how to make a macro that will rotate properly for my purposes?

If I type a single word, select it, press Shift+F3, I get lowercase, UPPERCASE and Sentence case. If I select a word or sentence, press Alt+F3 I get the Create New Building Block dialog box. I bit different than AutoText but with added functionality, finished creating the entry, click OK, and then type the name of the entry followed by F3, the Building Block is inserted in my document. Now, on the latter, it could be the name you are using. On the Insert tab, click Quick Parts and then click Building Blocks Organizer. Click the Name column to sort your entries by name. Locate one of the entries you created and see if there is another Building Block using the same name or if there is one that uses the same initial characters as those you are typing for the name. If all of the above checks out, then what language version of Word/Office do you have installed? Is it English or German? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

All of the keyboard shortcuts you noted should still work in Word 2007 I totally agree, they SHOULD work. I don't mean to sound belligerent, but I'm amazed how people persist in ignoring the facts and talk about keyboard maps and macro names and other side issues instead of reading my question and actually comparing the effects of the keystroke combinations in Word 2003 and Word 2007. TRY THIS: Select a Word in Word 2003 and press Shift+F3. At the risk of repeating myself, the selected word will rotate from lowercase to uppercase to SENTENCE CASE. Try the same thing in Word 2007 and you will see that it rotates between uppercase and lowercase ONLY, which is bad for me because the function I usually need is to transform sentence case to lowercase. Once again, I would greatly appreciate it if anybody has devised a macro to toggle between all three cases (instead of jjust TWO) TRY THIS: Select a word or sentence in Word 2003, press Alt+F3. You will see an Autotext box in which you can enter an abbreviation. Now return to your text, type the abbreviation + F3 and the whole word will appear. How anybody can claim that the same function exists under a new name (Quick Parts) in Word 2007 is beyond me! Just try the same procedure and see if it has the same effects! For the 100th time, there is no viable abbreviation system in Word 2007, which slows me down enormously and costs me a hell of a lot of money since I'm a translator who's paid by the word. The autocorrect" workaround is not nearly as efficient and doesn't work for graphics or larger sections. Regards, TC 1) in Word 2003 you could select any word(s), press Alt+F3, enter an abbreviation, and thereafter just type the abbreviation + F3 to call up the text. That keystroke combination doesn't work in Word 2007. Does anybody know how to do it in Word 2007 (with as few keystrokes as possible, since I have to type long texts with long, repetitive words). 2) In Word 2003 you could select any word(s) and press Shift+F3 to toggle between uppercase, lowercase, and "Sentence Case". That may seem trivial, but I translate from German to English and use it all the time. There's some slow way of doing it in Word 2007 under the Home menu with the "Aa" icon, but I would appreciate if anybody could find the equivalent keystroke combination in 2007 or explain to me (for dummies!) how to progam a macro that would toggle between all three cases.
