I encounter erratic behaviour of word. If i write a macro from scratch and assign a key to it (like Alt-A). it doesn't work. Even if i reset the key assignments to all macros, and assign this key to that particular macro, it doesn't work. I have adobe distiller installed and it installed numerous macros. Now running a macro from the tools,macros menu is a nightmare. Any help would be appreciated on how to make this macro run with Alt-A shortcut.
