Disable key

[Guest]

One of my users wants to know if it's possible to disable the Caps Lock key
in Word. I'm sure that there is no way to do it, but I just thought that I'd
ask.

Hi Laura,

There are 3rd party utilities that will do that (but it's not a 'just in Word') feature and you can make changes to the registry in
Windows to do it, but again, it's Windows wide.

This is a method using the Language settings of Windows

This article mentions an approach using the accessibility features in Windows as well as some links to some of the 3rd party
utilities.

One of the folks here who work regularly with macros for Word might know if it's possible to intercept the key mapping for the caps
lock key within Word, and Word alone.
