Shift F7 Question John Lane 12/19/2008 2:47:01 AM All of a sudden in Word 2007 some of the shortcut keys don't work, like Shift F7. Anyone know why? P.S. I have a wireless keyboard if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Maybe you have a laptop and need to toggle the fn key? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fn_key If the shortcut really was hosed, you could go to the Office pizza (top left), Word options... > Customize, then click on the button for the keyboard shortcuts at the bottom. Then check out "All commands > ToolsThesaurusRR", and reassign Shift+F7 as the keyboard shortcut. Regards, Klaus

Re: Shift F7 Question "Klaus Linke" <info[ at ]fotosatz-kaufmann.de> 12/19/2008 3:37:41 AM Since you mention a wireless keyboard, it's likely not a laptop <g> BTW, I usually use the context (right-click) menu, since my hand is on the mouse most of the time. Klaus

Re: Shift F7 Question "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 12/19/2008 10:34:44 AM Gets me all of the time when I try to use Alt+F9 to display field codes and instead see all of the keyboard shortcuts. It also got to Steve Ballmer who said that if he could find the guy that invented the F-Lock (or at least made it necessary to use it to be able to use the Function keys), he would shoot him. I guess there is probably somewhere that you can set Windows to start with the F-Lock on, but I haven't taken the time to look. -- Hope this helps.
