MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / April 2007Word 2003 pro ALT + T menu does not work
Hi everyone, I have Word 2003 Pro. and when I access the short keys: ALT + T to access the Tools submenu but it does not work. What happen is that When I do ALT+T(Tools) and press W (Word counts) - it will take me to Windows. Or ALT+T and A (for AutoCorrect Options) - it will take me to Table on the main menu bar instead. Any help would be appriciated. Dee What happens if you press Alt, pause a moment, and then press T? Does the Tools menu open?  SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

When I press ALT pause the File menu is highlighted - press T the Tools menu is highlighted but does not expand the submenu. Then I press any other Tools submenu letter say O(options) it would take me to Format on the main menu tool bar. Strange thing is that the submenu expand for other main menus like ALT + F(File), ALT+E(Edit) and so on but except for ALT+T (Tools). I think some how the ALT+T keys combination has been set to ALT. Help! Dee > What happens if you press Alt, pause a moment, and then press T? Does the > Tools menu open?

Unless the Alt+T was assigned to a macro or command that's no longer available then resetting they keyboard shortcuts will likely not work. If you haven't assigned your own then you can try it. But the built-in accelerators (the underlined letters) are controlled by another capability. SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Try starting Word in Safe Mode and see if you are able to use Alt+T. Exit Word and hold the Ctrl key while you start Word. Continue holding Ctrl until you are prompted to start in Safe Mode. If it works in Safe Mode then you might try resetting your keyboard shortcuts. It's possible Alt+T is assigned to a macro or command that isn't available.

After pressing Alt+T and having the "Tools" menu option highlighted, press T again and the next menu with the same accelerator will be highlighted. You will need to change one of them in order for the menu to automatically open in response to the accelerator.

So what Dee needs to do is look for another command/menu that also uses a "T" for the accelerator. SignaturePlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
