Key Reassignment Remap Semicolon Colon
QUESTION:
In MS Word 2002, is there a way to reverse/switch the keys used to produce the semicolon and colon. For example, in other programs I just reassign the keys or make macros and then assign the macros to the semicolon and colon keys. I have Intellitype 5.5 software if thats significant. BACKGROUND: The computer has XP with all updates. All Office updates are installed. I used to be able to do this switch of keystrokes in the past with Word, but it was with either an earlier version of Word or an earlier version of Intellitype, I cant remember which. As I recall how I used to make the reassignment, the keyboard reassignment/customize box would allow assignment to character keys, but that option does not exist on my Word 2002. I still have the Intellitype Pro 2.2 software, but am reluctant to install older software. If getting Office 2003 would allow the switch of keys, I would be happy to get the upgrade. I hope I am not the only person who is annoyed at almost never using the semicolon key, but always having to push SHIFT-Colon key every time I want to type a colon €” which is frequently. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this switch of keystrokes would be most helpful. Thank you very much. Lastly, for all those who think Microsoft or some other huge, inscrutable organization runs the world, the fact that there has been no law switching how we type colons and semicolons on all the keyboards in the world is clear proof that they are not really in control!  ***************** John Bakas Riverview, Florida, USA |

You could set up a couple of AutoCorrects, colon for semicolon and
vice-versa. -- Enjoy, Tony "John Bakas" wrote in message ... QUESTION: In MS Word 2002, is there a way to reverse/switch the keys used to produce the semicolon and colon.

The Word Ruler - simple though it may be - causes problems for many users,
judging by the number of questions about it ... ... oh, yes, perhaps I _could_ go for that  -- Enjoy, Tony "Helmut Weber" wrote in message ... World Ruler? Did you notice that: "World"? "Word ruler" would have been sufficient. Helmut |
