If you have Word 2003 shortcuts (some that have been around for many versions) coded into your fingers, do not fear. Word 2007 accepts those shortcuts. You must be fluent in the shortcut and type rapidly. Do not stop part way. Then Word will interpret it differently and it will fail.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;However, try and let go of the past and move on. Get closure on 2003! Press Alt and notice how there is a tooltip showing a letter on all the options available to you at that moment. Press one of those letters and the next layer of options get a tooltip and the ones from the first layer disappear. You could call it the Progressive Disclosure principle in action here.&lt;BR/&gt;Try taking baby steps to the function you need. There are ones that you use frequently and before you know it, you have coded something new into your fingers.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'll let know know when I have cracked the numbering mystery. :-)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/6244358535386307963/comments/default/7148801037766921265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/6244358535386307963/comments/default/7148801037766921265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/09/few-of-my-unfavourite-things-in.html?showComment=1222611420000#c7148801037766921265' title=''/><author><name>Karen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08814867190686442663</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/09/few-of-my-unfavourite-things-in.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354171578524044422.post-6244358535386307963' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/posts/default/6244358535386307963' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1041846719'/></entry></feed>
