Equasion Editor and Command-H shortcut

[motnoslo]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Does the Command-H shortcut work in Equasion Editor in Word 2008? I have a conflict with the OS X keyboard shortcut for "hide", yet I don't see where I can turn off the hide "command-H" in the keyboard shortcut menu in System Preferences. Or is this a PC Office shortcut, but not a Mac Office shortcut?

Thanks,
Tom

Command H is still enabled in Microsoft Office applications, but first you
have to wrench it from the clutches of OS X.

OS X is far more greedy about stealing keystrokes than Windows. You can get
into System Preferences and chop it off at the knees

Thanks for the reply, I've been to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, but Command-H is not listed as a shortcut, so I can't kill it there. :-(

Keep hunting: keystrokes are gobbled all over the place in System
Preferences.
