I have been using the Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V to copy/paste formats in Excel for years but they have stopped working. The computer beeps when I try them. There is no Customize Keyboard option in Excel either. Were these options removed?

    Brutal change to the software.. I've been using this shortcut for a decade. Microsoft - please change it back and hire support staff who know your product

    I thought I was going Crazy when it showed as Ctrl+Alt, this is a very annoying change Microsoft. Please put it back how it was.

    Same here. used copy/paste format for years, not just stopped working word but still works elsewhere.

    The fact a change like this can happen blows my mind. It's such a pain in the **** when stuff like this happens. Hurtsmy brain, and more importantly productivity. I'd expect this more from Google than Microsoft but either way, WHYYY!!??

    This is a huge problem. NO ONE uses the paintbrush to format! Why STOP WORKING on a document to act like a Mac user? Please fix this. It is preventing me from any type of excellence in by book writing, lecture writing, etc....horrid, horrid decision!
