Just out of curiosity, what are you doing that you constantly fat finger the <F12>?
In Word 2010 <F12> i have File / Save As, is that what you have?Just use the <ESC> to cancel it quickly.
- File tab/ Options command / Customize Ribbon option / Keyboard Shortcuts Customize ... button.
- Place the insertion point in "Press new Shortcut Key" input field, press <F12>
- Under the "Current Keys" input field, (in the grey) it will show the command that is currently assigned to the key. In my case it is "FileSaveAs"
- Find the assigned command in the "COmmands" input field, single click on it
- <F12> will display in the "Current Keys" field, single click on it
- Click on the "Remove" button
- Click on Close button.
Excel 2010 <F12> is also Save As
Excel assigning shortcut keys still is different than word (this is one place where Office is not yet (20+ years and counting) consistent!), I don't see any way of chaning it in 2010
Outlook I don't have (and don't care about ...<grin>)
