My word program is 97. I want to upgrade my computer but I want to make sure
I will be able to use it before I upgrade. I thought I could get help here
but obviously you don't want to help you want to assume that I am doing some
sort of homework. I guess I will have to look for help somewhere else.

Your question looks exactly like a test exercise question and certainly has
nothing to do with upgrading or being able to use a new version. Your old
shortcuts should continue to work in a new version.

An answer to your question - probably the most accurate one - is that you
cannot remove *all* formatting

Not to mention that none of those shortcuts would get rid of any kind of
formatting.

Ctrl+Shift+Z does the same as Ctrl+Spacebar on my machine (FontReset)...
Though I wasn't aware of it until just now, and never have seen it
advertised as far as I remember <g>

I've certainly never seen it advertised. If anything, I'd expect it to do
the same thing as Ctrl+Z, in the same way that Ctrl+Shift+B and Ctrl+Shift+I
(unless reassigned, as they are on my system) do the same thing as Ctrl+B
and Ctrl+I.

Hi Suzanne,

FWIW, :) the first Word MSKB article where the Ctrl+Shift+Z shortcut appears is one for Word v6
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123302?FR=1
From the description it seems to have been added to allow similar commands to be used on the PC and mac description.

It appears again in the article for Word 2002/2003/2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290938?FR=1
It doesn't appear in the Word 97 or Word 2000 articles that the Word 2002/2003/2007 article links to.

FWIW, in the Word 2003 Help topic "Keyboard shortcuts," in the section
"Character and paragraph formatting," the item "Apply character formats,"
which *does* list Ctrl+Spacebar, does *not* list Ctrl+Shift+Z. I have
usually viewed that Help topic as being pretty comprehensive, but it appears
it's not definitive.

Hi Suzanne,

Yes, the writers who clone the KB articles may not be same ones who clone the help topics :) but I did recall using that one in
Word 6, mainly because I could hit all 3 keys with 1 finger (or actually the side of my finger/hand).
