How can I lock out keyboard shortcuts in Word 2007?

It would have been better if you used the big message area to explain
what you mean by "lock out" and why you want to do it.

If you're bothered by particular shortcuts that you hit without
meaning to, you can remove them or replace them with others that
aren't so likely to be hit accidentally. Press Ctrl+Alt+plus sign on
the number pad, so the cursor changes to a cloverleaf icon. Then press
the shortcut you want to remove, which opens the Customize Keyboard
dialog with that shortcut displayed. Click the shortcut and then click
the Remove button.

If you're trying to prevent other people from using shortcuts in their
copy of Word, and not allow them to restore the shortcuts, then the
answer is no. You can remove the shortcuts from a particular template,
but there's no way to prevent them from being restored.
