Ctrl+Shift+S does not activate Styles dropdown

Ctrl+Shift+S is supposed to activate the Styles dropdown in Formatting
toolbar, yes?

When I do it, it changes the style's font to Times New Roman and drops it to
a 6-point size. Also, curiously, to Undo this change takes **22** Ctrl+Z's,
not one, as usual!

Incidentally, Ctrl+Shift+F (font) and Ctrl+Shift+P (font size) work fine;
it's only Ctrl+Shift+S that's on the fritz.

Anyone know how to exorcise this ghost in the machine?

Thx...
 
Hi Hans,

Ctrl+Shift+S is bound to some macro (in your Normal.dot, or some global
template or add-in)?

The keyboard customization dialog (Tools > Customize > Keyboard, or use Ctrl
+ Alt + Num+, then Ctrl+Shift+S) should show you where that macro resides.

You can delete it directly from that dialog (... select the shortcut first).
Or you could attach the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S to the Styles control/command
again.
If you haven't created keyboard shortcuts you would miss, you could also
reset them all from the dialog.

If the macro is in Normal.dot, you could also get rid of the shortcut with
this code:

Dim aKey As KeyBinding
CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate
For Each aKey In KeyBindings
If aKey.KeyCode = BuildKeyCode(Arg1:=wdKeyControl, Arg2:=wdKeyShift,
Arg3:=wdKeyS) Then
aKey.Clear
End If
Next aKey

Thank you, Klaus!

There was a macro (set 5 years ago by a former employee!) that had the same
key command.
