MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / May 2004Any way to disable shortcut keys?
Does anyone know how to turn off shortcut keys in Word? It is an annoying feature that I'd like to diable if I hit an embedded shortcut combination by accident. Another case of putting too many bells and whistles in application that many of us will never use. Thanks for any help. Bill Bill, I don't think there is an On/Off switch, but you could use View>Toolbars>Customize>Keyboard and scroll through the various commands to remove the ones you might not want. >-----Original Message----- >Does anyone know how to turn off shortcut keys in Word?

A bit tedious, but it accomplished what I wanted to do, which is to not have Word go off in some direction or begin a table or some other process when I'm deep into writing an article and hit the wrong keys. Again, thanks! >-----Original Message----- >Bill, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >. > Does anyone know how to turn off shortcut keys in Word? > It is an annoying feature that I'd like to diable if I > hit an embedded shortcut combination by accident. > > Another case of putting too many bells and whistles in > application that many of us will never use. Just a comment--not that Word doesn't add useless "bells and whistles", but shortcut keys are NOT one of them. In fact, shortcut keys and the ability to edit them are one of the best features in Word, and should be in every computer program. Shortcut keys can be far faster than using the mouse. I'll admit that the ability to disable all shortcut keys across the board could be handy, though it would *certainly* be considered a "bell and whistle" and I'd bet money that most people would never use it, as more and more people learn to type properly from a young age.
