How to change back to ctrl+c?

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

Hello
How to change shortcuts from shift to ctrl based? Copy is ctrl+Insert
instead of ctrl+c and past is shift+Insert instead of ctrl+v now. How to
change back to ctrl+c?

Hi Dmitriy,

Assuming you've changed the shortcuts to the actual Word
commands (as opposed to, say, using an add-in to modify
the keybindings), click Tools­> Customize­> Keyboard.
In the left-hand box, click Edit. In the right-hand box,
click EditCopy.

Now, if under "Current Keys" you see Ctrl+Insert, click
it and click Remove. Then in "Type new shortcut key,"
press Ctrl+C and click Assign. Do the same for the
EditPaste command. Click Close. When you close Word,
if you're asked to save changes to the Normal template,
answer Yes.

If you *don't* see the current shortcuts under "Current
Keys," post back. You may have a more complex situation
involving macros in an add-in.

.TRY: Tools - Customize - Keyboard - Select 'Insert' -

Press new shortcut key [Ctrl-V]
Alternatively Tools - Customize - Keyboard - Reset alljt

All shortcuts changed unexpectedly. I don't want to change back every
shortcut. This happened before and was recovered I don't remember how, all
shortcuts changed back at once.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

I don't want to change back every shortcut manually.

 

[Mark Tangard]

Dmitriy,

Is "every" shortcut changed? You mention only 2, and I
explained how to change them both back. If ALL of your
shortcuts are changed, you may want to rename your
Normal.dot (with Word closed) and have Word build a
new one (when you reopen it). Note that this will
erase any macros or styles you've built into the
normal template and any toolbar, menu, or keyboard
shortcut customizations you've made.

Tools, Options, Edit tab and clear the option Use INS Key for Paste.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

Checking or clearing the option Use INS Key for Paste on my other computer
doesn't change shortcuts.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

I would like to find a way of recovering without erasing macros, styles,
toolbar, menu, keyboard shortcut customizations.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

Clearing the option Use INS Key for Paste on the computer doesn't change
shortcuts.

How many of the shortcuts have changed? You imply only
two of them have changed. What happens when you change
those two back to their correct shortcuts? Don't they
stick? Did you even try it yet?

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

All shortcuts have changed.
Only those two change back, nothing happens to others when I change those
two back to their correct shortcuts. They don't stick.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

This is maybe caused by Russification of the environment or installing
Russian programs. I don't know how to recover.

 

[Mark Tangard]

Dmitriy,

I don't know about Russification, but if the operations these
shortcuts perform are ordinarily accessed by other shortcuts
in the Russian-language version of Word (or Windows), then it's
possible that this is by design and in that case the only way
to recover your preferred (non-Russian?) shortcuts will be to
reassign them. But I'd find it hard to believe that these
particular shortcuts aren't universal, since they don't even
all correspond (alphabetically) to the English words. (Ctrl+V
derives from the *appearance* of the letter V, since it looks
like a insertion mark.)

You can recover your customizations, *except* for shortcuts,
as follows:

With Word closed, find your Normal.dot.
Rename it OldNormal.dot
Open Word. Click Tools-> Macro-> Macros.
Click the Organizer button.

You'll see the Organizer dialog with two boxes -- one headed
'In Normal.dot." Below the OTHER box, click 'Close File.'
Then click that button again (it will have changed to read
'Open File'). Browse to your OldNormal.dot and click Open.

Now click each of the tabs at the top of the Organizer dialog
(Styles, AutoTexts, etc.) and in turn, use the COPY button
to copy your Styles, AutoTexts, etc., from OldNormal.dot to
the new Normal.dot. (Highlight them in the box titled 'In
OldNormal.dot' and click the Copy button, which will then
point toward the other box.) You can highlight everything
in one of the categories by SHIFT+Clicking. Click Close
when done. When you close Word, if you're asked to save
changes to the Normal template, answer Yes.

If you had built all your shortcuts via code, you could
recover them also, by running the macro that generates
them. I spent quite a while creating a large macro to
do that, because the Payne Code Cleaner, which you may
have seen mentioned here, destroys user-defined keyboard
shortcuts. But I know it isn't likely you've done that.

Word and Windows are non-Russian, international versions.
These particular shortcuts (like Ctrl+V) aren't universal. Shortcuts in my
international Word are the same as in a Russian Word now.

 

[Mark]

Well, Dmitriy, I've written you detailed instructions for
salvaging your customizations and rebuilding your shortcuts.
If you don't want to take the advice offered here, there's
no point in you posting any further on this topic.

 

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

There's another resolution for this problem. I used the resolution before.
Somebody could remind me this resolution. Mark, you might not know the
resolution because you apparently don't work in foreign or Russian
environment.

The shortcuts changed after installation of Promt XP Smart tool.

 

[Terry Farrell]

Not so smart then is it?

I was wrong. The shortcuts changed after checking the option Use INS Key for
Paste.
