Macros and ctrl+s

Question

Hi,

I created some macros in Word 2007 and lost ctrl+s and ctrl+c. I deleted all the macros, and ctrl+s and ctrl+c still don't work. They do work in all my other Office applications and anywhere else I want to use them.

How can I get them back into Word?

Thanks!

Janet

Answer 1

There is probably no relation between the macros and the loss of the

shortcuts, unless the macro was programmed to change keybindings --

and there is no way to record that.

You can put back the shortcuts the same way you would create new ones,

through the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog:

• Click the Office button, click Word Options, click the Customize tab

of the options dialog, and click the Keyboard Shortcuts Customize

button at the bottom.

• Click "Office Menu" in the Categories list. Then click FileSave in

the Commsnds list. Click in the "Press new shortcut key" box and type

Ctrl+S. Then click the Assign button at the bottom left.

• Click "Home Tab" in the Categories list. Then click EditCopy in the

Commands list. Click in the "Press new shortcut key" box and type

Ctrl+C. Then click the Assign button at the bottom left.

• Click the Close button.

It worked perfectly! The shortcut keys that appeared in the box as assigned to those commands we're kind of bizarre. They're all fixed now though.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This makes my job commenting English papers online MUCH easier!
