Keyboard shortcuts save computer users much time and effort, but who determines which commands are worthy of having a shortcut? In Word 2007, you do! You can create a keyboard shortcut for nearly any task in Word, from saving documents in a certain format, to quickly highlighting selected text—the options are endless. All it takes is a couple minutes worth of customization.

I can change shortcuts ok and I used to do this in word 2003 also. However in word 2003 when I changed a command (i.e. insert symbol shortcut keys) the shortcut stayed changed and when I opened new word documents, my custom symbol shortcut remained. With word 07 though, when I change them, they work for that document, but if I open a new document, the custom key strokes I programmed are reverted back to their original tasks and are no longer performing the way I want them to! for example I program ctrl+alt+e to show é but then when i go back again it keeps bringing up the € sign! This is happening even though I am selecting the save changes to Normal. Can you help?
