Microsoft word keyboard shortcuts not working for windows 10#
Note: For Windows 10 the above option is found under Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Change input methods (under Language) -> Advanced Settings (on the left) -> Override for default input method. It also appears in all versions of Windows since Windows 2000 and at least with Hebrew, Greek and Arabic languages but I guess with many (all?) others as well. This problem appears in all Office versions from 2003 to 2013. Note that if you set English as the default keyboard language everything will still work even while you're switching your keyboard language to type non-English text. Ctrl+ C will change to Ctrl+ Ins and Ctrl+ V will change to Shift+ Ins) If you select a non-English language as the default keyboard language and open Microsoft Word a lot of shortcuts will change to IBM Common User Access mode (e.g. You must select English as the default keyboard language (control panel -> regional settings -> keyboard). (You can get transpose if you use the Home tab's Paste ribbon pull-down but I'm trying to avoid mousing.) I might have to make a macro for it.At last after a lot of searching on the Internet I found the solution: I still haven't found a way to make a transpose tool bar shortcut, although I read in another forum that Cmd-E is supposed to paste->transpose, but it doesn't for me. Therefore, the above may or may not work for you.
I checked it and the shortcuts continue to work and hovering over an icon displays what function it's supposed to perform. So I exited Excel 2011 and went back in and all the shortcuts are again working and "Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands" is un-checked. (However the Edit menu does show that Cmd+C does "copy to scrapbook".)
And after more experimentation no matter if I check or un-check "Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands" I can't get Cmd-C to copy. I went back in and checked "Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands" and Cmd-C started working again. Now as I wrote this posting I found out that Cmd-C stopped working again. Once I UNchecked that box the shortcuts started working again (after "OK" dismissing the window) and the shortcut keys were displayed in the menus.īTW, " Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips" is checked for me. (That setting is supposed to show what an icon is supposed to do if you hover the mouse-pointer over it.) In the window that appears the Toolbars and Menus "tab" is displayed (for me).Ĭheck or un-check "Show ScreenTips for toolbar commands". I had flakey results: go to menu View -> Toolbars -> Customize Toolbars and Menus. (In addition, selecting an area and hitting Cmd-C did not display the crawling-ants indication around the selection.) I found the problem using Excel with Office 2011, but it may apply to Word too.)Ĭmd-C, Cmd-V, Cmd-X and maybe others stopped working and the shortcuts weren't displayed in the menu after I was messing around trying to add Paste->Transpose to the tool bar. [Note: I'm using Cmd- the same as Cmd+ as you don't actually type the hyphen or plus, and Cmd is the "command" keyboard key.
