Keyboard shortcuts in Word 2007 Template
Hi,
I converted a Word 2003 template to a Word 2007 template and I lost my keyboard shortcuts! What's worse, I can't add them back in via the Office Button -- Word Options -- Customize -- Customize dialog. Actually, I can add the keyboard shortcuts back in, but when I save and re-open the template, the shortcuts are gone. Interestingly, I can assign keys that weren't used in the 2003 template, but I can't assign the keys that were "lost". Keys the weren't used before show up as "Currently assigned to: [unassigned]". The keys that were lost do not say "[unassigned]". They just say "Currently assigned to:", followed by empty space. Am I missing something? |

Keyboard shortcuts in Word 2007 Template
Hi John,
Can you give the steps you are using to 'convert' the template and what are some of the keyboard shortcuts you had assigned. (There are a few that are reserved for Officewide use). In the Customize Keyboard dialog what template does it show the changes being saved to and if you Save changes to a specific document then close Word and reopen the document do those show as assigned? ============= "John" wrote in message ...

Keyboard shortcuts in Word 2007 Template
Hi Bob,
First, while in Word 2003, I deleted our custom toolbar and menu commands. Then I opened the template in Word 2007 and saved it as a 2007 template. That left me with two commands that appeared in the "Toolbar Command" group in the "Add-Ins" tab. I deleted these by right clicking and selecting "Delete Custom Command". Then I added my RibbonX UI via the Custom UI Editor. Next I added in the macros to handle the RibbonX callbacks. At that point I noticed I had lost my old keyboard shortcuts and could not replace them. The shortcuts that work were like: Ctrl+E, Ctrl+I, Alt+1, Alt+2, and several more. The ones that don't work a Alt+B, Alt+K, Alt+Y, Ctrl+., Ctrl+Shift+L, Ctrl+Shift+S, Alt+Q, and a few more. The Customize Keyboard dialog shows the changes being saved in my template, i.e. the one I added the RibbonX and all to. Not sure I understand your last suggestion. I created a regular Word document, and connected Alt+B to a Word command and it was saved ok. I also tried loading my template as an add-in and saving a keyboard shortcut to one of its macros in a regular document, but when I opened the regular document and loaded my template again, I could not even see my macros.
