Keyboard Shortcuts ignored in Notebook View

G

Keyboard shortcuts I define in Word 2008 do not seem to be work in the Notebook view. For example, I have Command-[ and Command-] set to promote and demote items in lists. These commands work in all other views, but do not work in Notebook view. In fact, I cannot find any way to demote or promote list items without resorting to the mouse, which makes Notebook view basically useless for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Gordon:

I am afraid that is by design.

Notebook View is a different file structure from a standard document, and
many commands are disabled in Notebook View.

You can lay around customising things, but basically it won't let you do
anything useful, because the chances of corrupting the document if you do is
very high.

Sorry about that!


Cheers
