Word 2007 shortcuts: ALT-F-i-c-t-m-m to shortcut keys interface: Is there something shorter for getting there? And is there a place where all the shortcuts are listed succinctly and searchable? I did find a listing at Microsoft, but it was quite scattered and if you were looking for something, it would take a quarter hour or more to find IF it were there.



Cheers,

Gil
 
Office Button | Word Options | Customize | Keyboard shortcuts | Customize or
click the arrows at the end of the QAT and choose More Commands, which opens
the Customize dialog or right-click anywhere on the QAT and choose Customize
the Quick Access Toolbar.

For a printed listing: Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog, then select "Key
assignments" under "Print what."

For a complete list: F1, type "keyboard shortcuts" in the search box, then
choose the topic "Keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Office Word." You can
search within the Help topic using Ctrl+F.

In the Customize Keyboard dialog box, you can assign a shortcut to the
ToolsCustomizeKeyboard command for easy access.

You can print a list of key assignments via the Print dialog box; just
choose "Key assignments" from the "Print what" box.

For a list of Word's built-in commands, including default key assignments,
see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/CommandsList.htm.

Try a Google search for this phrase: "microsoft word 2007" "keyboard
shortcuts", with the quote marks. That gave me about 16,000 references,
many of which look like they would fit what you are looking for.

That lists only one's own custom keyboard assignments.

And the only way to get a file out of it is by printing to pdf or
something similar, and converting the multipage, single-column, triple-
spaced list to a formattable Word document is quite a pain, because
it's festooned with text boxes or frames.

At some point back in my Word2003 days, I found (somehow) through Help
a complete list of keyboard shortcuts (alphabetical by Word's often
inscrutable name for the action), which printed out as a compact but
none-page table. It included the handful of custom shortcuts that had
already been assigned.
 
I'm guessing that the listing of shortcuts that you saw for Word 2003 must
have been created by a macro. I seem to recall seeing such a macro once, but
I have forgotten where. :-(

Note that the default shortcuts can be found at Office Online (or in Word
Help, as Suzanne wrote in her reply):

Tech-Tav used to have a handy-dandy list at their Web site (listed in
alphabetical order by command and again by shortcut). Alas! they seem to be
long gone now, along with the document.

I know that I got to it somewhere in Help.

The former employer who gave me the computer with Office on it wasn't
terribly familiar with Word (he was amazed the first time he saw me
access Document Map -- and also the second time, a few months later),
so even though he had degrees in computer science from both Oxford and
Cambridge (and knew nothing about the publishing business he was
running), he probably wasn't devising macros.
 
Well, I've already pointed out where you can find it in Help: the article on
"Keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Word."

That's actually a potentially more useful list than in the 2003 Help
-- but can it be made into a printer-friendly format, or saved as a
formattable document?

Note that it claims that Shift-F5 will take you to the last working
spot after reopening a document.
 
At the top of the Help window is a printer icon that allows you to print any
Help topic. I tried printing one of the shorter topics, and I would issue
this caveat: unlike previous versions, printing doesn't automatically expand
all the topics, so be sure to expand the desired ones (or click Show All)
before printing, as Word prints exactly what you see (a good thing if you
want just one subtopic expanded).

Alas, the pdf comes to 26 pages, and would presumably be just as hard
to format into usable form as was the "print keyboard shortcuts"
output.
 
Hi Suzanne et al,
I edit/copied the entire expanded page, into normal format and it works fairly well. After searching a while, there seemed to be no
preinstalled keyboard shortcuts shorter than ALT-F-i-c-t-m-m to customizing/keyboard shorcuts but no matter as the QAT addition
worked out well and the macro code should make it so I can make it a two keystroke deal.
Thanks!
Gil

A button on the QAT for access to the Customize Keyboard dialog box works
just fine, as you have noticed. But note that you can *assign* a keyboard
shortcut to open the dialog box, if you want to. In the dialog box, just
specify the shortcut you want to ToolsCustomizeKeyboard.
 
Thanks for pointing that out Stefan. I think I had become lost with the removal of a tools submenu. But yep, its there under all
commands. That'll probably help me out with some other 2007 problems I was having.
Cheers,
Gil
