Yes, but you may have to create your own desktop shortcut since, if you have
a recent version of Word, you will not be able to modify the desktop shortcut (if any) that it will have created. 1. Right-click on the desktop shortcut and choose Properties. On the Shortcut tab, see if the "Shortcut key" box is enabled or disabled. 2. If it is disabled, create a new shortcut by searching for Winword.exe, right-clicking, selecting Create Shortcut, and dragging the shortcut to the desktop. 3. If/when it is enabled, enter your desired keyboard shortcut (I've been using Ctrl+Shift+W for years). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne
That worked great. I found that when I was entering the keyboard shortcut, when I pressed the CTRL key the "CTRL +" text was automatically entered and I entered the "W" as you suggested. I couldn't find this explained anywhere thanks again. Would you be able to have a look at my other posting.....Carol porvided me with a great link but I can't find a solution to my question there.

Keep in mind that whatever shortcut key you assign to a desktop shortcut
will supersede that shortcut key in any application. In Word, Ctrl+W is assigned to DocClose, which I didn't know (I've certainly never used it), so it's probably a better choice (at least from the Word standpoint) than Ctrl+Shift+W, which is by default assigned to Word Underline, but since I never use that feature, either, I don't miss it. If it turns out that Ctrl+W does something vital in some other application, you may need to rethink it. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks again for the reply Suzanne
I think I will stick with CTRL + W as you suggested.....I haven't much knowledge of the keyboard shortcuts and you have been using it for much longer than I so it sounds good to me. You have certainly cleared up my questions here and in my other posts. Best wishes Dermot "Suzanne S.

Hello Dermot:
Sorry I coudn't get back to you in time to answer your questions. If you want to know what the different key assignments do in Word you can print out a list of them. File | Print | Print What | Key Assignment. I hope this has been helpful to you! -- Carol A.
