Alt + W

[theo1881]

Hi All

I've got a user who has downloaded an add-in for Word 2003. The commands on the add in include keyboard shortcuts. One of the shortcuts is Alt+W.

Now the more astute will realise that Alt+W tends to open the Window menu from the Menu Bar.

Is there any way of changing the menu bar shortcuts?

It's a very naughty add-in! Keyboard accelerators - key combinations using Alt - should not be used as shortcuts for other things.

I don't know if this will help with the AddIn, but you can change the accelerator by changing the text on the Menu:

Tools > Customize - to display the dialog
Right click on "Window" on the Menu - to display a dropdown
Change the "Name" from "&Window" to "Wi&ndow", or "&X" or anything else with a different character following the ampersand.
Close the dialog

Enjoy,
Tony

VERY naughty add-in! Bad dog. Bad!

Whoever programmed that needs to go back to Basic-Windows-Standards.

Apparently it was the brainchild of a school teacher who then roped in a 'talented' developer!
