Keyboard shortcuts and Word

I am not sure if it is OK to ask this question here, please indulge me if it isn't and tell me where to post.
I use Word 2004 on our G4; Mr H uses it on our MBP. (we have three liscence keys with our edition so all is legal)
Is there a keyboard shortcut to get to the beginning and the end of a document in Work using a keyboard shortcut on the MBP?
On the G4 if we want to move from anyplace in a document to the beginning, I hit command + home and get there; to get to the end hit command + end and get there.
On the MBP this doesn't work - the home and end keys are incorporated into the arrow keys, and the command doesn't work.
Is there another shortcut to make this happen?
Mrs H

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
Likewise,
Jump to start of line = Fn-LeftArrow
Jump to end of line = Fn-RightArrow
Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
In this one (exceedingly rare) instance, Niel is incorrect.

  • New Keyboard Shortcuts in Word 2010 NOT SAVING

    I am unable to save new keyboard shortcuts to Word 2010.  The ones that come with the program work like CTRL B for bold, etc., but when I try to create new ones, they'll work while I'm in Word, but when I try to close it for the day, it tells me that
    there is a copy already open and it doesn't allow me to save to the Normal template.  When I try to save to a different template, the keyboard shortcuts I created do not work.  There has GOT to be a patch or workaround for this.  I am working
    on a small network, fyi.  Thanks so much.

    Hi,
    I have noticed that you have replied in a similar thread. Do you have the third party programs which mentioned there?
    And then based on my test, please try the following steps:
    Exit Word 2010> Rename the Normal.dot (Path: C:\Users\uesrname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) >Restart Word. 
    Create the new keyboard shortcuts ,assign to the command and choose Normal to save.
    If it still not works, please give me the whole error message during your saving.

  • Is there a way to move my keyboard shortcuts and preferences from CS3 to CS5?

    I just loaded CS5 and I'm starting to work with it. Big difference from CS3 and I'm finding things don't work the same at all. Anything i can do to make this seem more familiar, like using the same keyboard shortcuts and workspaces?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • XFCE sometimes forgets keyboard shortcut and layouts

    Hello,
    I have been using XFCE since gnome3. However, I have the problem with keyboard applet on my desktop (x86-64). I am using us and cz keyboards and switching with keyboard shortcut "alt+shift". Unfortunatelly, the applet once or twice a week forgets this keyboard shortcut and sometimes, it forgets alternative keyboard layout (cz) too.
    Everytime it forgets it, I have to set it up again.
    I did not realized, when this problem appears. There is no relationship with restart, running some programs, etc.. It seems, it appears randomly, with no corelation to any operation I make.
    There is no problem on the second PC (laptop) with archlinux and xfce (but i686).
    I think, this problem appeared when I installed xfce for the first time (6 months ago).
    Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

I have config files for some panel plugins saved in a directory I made called "/home/backups" and I have a line in my rc.local that force copies them back to ~/.config/xfce4/panel/
    unfortunately, changing owner or read only mode did not help. I will have to do it by your way, but in cron, because it happens during normal work suddenly and I restart the PC once a week.

  • CS3 standardizing keyboard shortcuts and other prefs ??

    Hello. I have 30+ computers that are running Indesign CS3. Instead of going around to each one and setting all keyboard shortcuts and things like default stroke weight and also prefs. like, Edit > Preferences > Advanced Type and the Small cap setting as well as others. I would like them all to start with my sites default prefs.
    Where are these prefs stored. I know the keyboard shortcuts are in the Indesign Shortcut Sets folder, where are all the Edit > Preferences things stored?
    If I set one to the way I want it and than copy these files to all computers will this fix my problem?
    What are the files, how should I accomplish this?
    thanks

    Preferences for CS3 are saved in two files in the user profile. The first is InDesign Defaults, under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0 and the second is InDesign Saved Data under \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches (these are the XP locations. paths are slightly different for Vista) These are hidden files.
    The documentation says that it is not recommended to copy these files from one machine to another, and that it is recommended that you script it instead, but I've only found one user who's been able to do that, and since the script was written for a major client he hasn't been willing or able to share it with the world. I've been copying and pasting these files onto multiple machines at my school for years without any trouble, but, if there are differences in configuration from machine to machine you could cause some instabilities. Set a restore point and try it.
    Unless you have a system freeze program in place, however, this is largely an exercise in futility. Preferences, as noted, are user-specific and changeable, and get written each time the application closes. The best you'll get is a common starting point.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for Word compatible accents?

    To type the letter ǜ in a Pages document, I press u, then altshiftu and then altshift`, and all looks fine on the screen. However, when I export the document to word, Word usually displays it as u¨`. Word does so even if I select for example Helvetica as font, and Helvetica does contain both the glyph ǜ and the glyph with unicode 0308 which is Combining Diaeresis. If I select Lucida Grande as font, Word tries to produce a correct ǜ, but it is not a pretty sight.
    To have a compatible document it seems I need to type unicode 01DC (ǜ), but I have not found any keyboard shortcut for that one. Does anyone know a quicker way to enter it than using the Character Palette?

    Magnus,
    I guess the best way is to use another keyboard layout (script) for those characters. I don't know the language of these characters, but System Preferences/International/Input Menu provides a list of different scripts to use.
    If they don't fit your needs, you could create your own layout: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?siteid=nrsi&itemid=ukelele

  • Keyboard shortcuts and tabs with get info box

    I'm having several problems with the new get info box - and regret that I can no longer bring up the old version with the shift/right-click/get-info command.
    1) No keyboard shortcut to advance from one track to the next, from inside the Get Info box. This used to be handled with Alt-N or Alt-P for Next and Previous. Now it seems to require mouse click on the error.
    2) When tabbing through fields, it skips fields toward the bottom (album artist)
    3) For works with the same title (most of my library is classical), I've tended to organize them by adding an extra space at the end of the Album line for the 2nd work with that title, or an extra two spaces for the 3rd work with that same title. This way they sort as distinct albums, since most works have multiple tracks. With the new Get Info, if I enter that extra space on the field in the box, it cuts it off when clicking ok. But if I just F2 the field on itunes list view, I can add it with no problem. This is a pain because I have to do it one track at a time, can't do it for multiple tracks at once. 

    The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
    The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
    Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
    Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)

  • Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

    Hi, all -
    CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
    Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
    Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

    Hey there,
    I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
    Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
    You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog.  Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
    It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for?  Just curious in case I can help.
    Jen.

  • [BUG] Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut and does not have a custom one.

    Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut which is `command + shift + [` and does not have a custom one.
    I tried "delete" key which is backspace for Windows. It will do delete identical to "delete X" key (which is delete key for Windows).
    Sidenote: `command + shift + \` is to go back in views (switch views), not folder structure.

    Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge?  Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back.  Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
    Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
    Please don't take this a criticism.  As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

  • I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

    My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
    Command was:
    defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
    Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
    Does anybody have any advice?

    Try
    defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
    Then, relaunch Mail.

  • Keyboard shortcuts and You Control

    I've just transferred my data to a new iMac from my old dual G4. The first time I did it there was chaos. Suspecting You Control/You Control desktops might be implicated I did a clean reinstall without them and everything's working fine. But I hate not having those programmes to lean on. So I tried setting Apple's keyboard shortcuts to replace my You Control hot keys. They don't work. When I press the shortcut keys I've chosen nothing happens. I've searched the HELP menu and got no help at all. As far as I can tell I've done everything right. My shortcuts are listed below all the Apple ones. I've killed any that conflict with mine so there are no yellow triangles warning me of conflicts. Can somebody tell me where I've gone wrong? And while we're on the subject, is anybody else having problems with You software in 10.5.2 or 10.5.3?

    Thank you for answering my question. One more question: Why is there a + and a - sign down the bottom, and why was I encouraged to go through the rigmarole I went through if it led nowhere? When I hit the + I was given a series of tasks to perform. Why was I doing that when it achieved nothing? Or did it achieve something that I still don't know about?
    Anyway I've bitten the bullet and reinstalled You Control and it's working perfectly. Incidentally, some time ago I asked again and again if anybody could explain to me how I got an extra clock in my menu bar, a clock that had a pull-down menu showing me the time in several cities I'm not interested in, my iCal calendar for the next 3 months and the current date. Nobody could come up with an answer but now I know. It's You Control, which offers this useful clock. Now that I know where it's coming from I can set it up with cities I am interested in. Thanks to everyone who scratched their heads on my behalf. Scratch no more!

  • Keyboard Shortcuts and Delocalizing

    Hi all; grabbed a refurb MBP and loving it. Quite the difference from my venerable Pismo...
    Three questions - i searched for answers, with no luck. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
    1. in Sys.Prefs>Keyboard&Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts>(scroll down) Application Keyboard Shortcuts: i'm llooking to asign Apps to certain Function keys while holding the fn key. I assigned apps and, no joy. Are we able to do this via this menu or am i missing what this is for?
    2. So in Tiger Cache Cleaner one can delocalize their drive of languages that the system loaded that may not be used. When selected i was shown a very long menu that had names of languages, then short two letter abbreviations of the same i assume, (eg: de, en_GB, es, fr). I deleted the named languages then quit the program. Noticed i had gained 1g or so of disk space yet when i went back to TCC i noticed those languages were still there. Is this normal?
    2a. Is it OK to delete the abbreviated languages?
    Happy Daylight Savings!

  • Keyboard Shortcuts and Hot Corners Fail Randomly!

    So I have upgraded to 10.5.1, and now, out of seemingly nowhere, ALL keyboard shortcuts fail. Quicksilver, Spotlight, Dashboard, thay all fail. Also, ALL hotcorners fail to work (they make the "funk" noise when I try to use them).
    They work for a while after rebooting, but then inexplicably stop working.
    It happens on my Macbook Pro (Oct 06, 2.16 15 inch) with my Aluminum Keyboard plugged in (not sure if it happens without it). I have posted my Activity Monitor Printout, and the Console messages. Any ideas?
    http://www.ownerofearth.com/all_messages.log
    http://www.ownerofearth.com/afterhotkeydeath.pdf

    I have found the issue! It was the screensaver called "PolarClock3" that was killing the shortcuts. Choosing a new screensaver (and for good measure deleting as well) and logging out and then back in did the trick.

  • Are there any keyboard shortcuts in Word?

    Is there any way to go down or up a whole screen or page in a Word document using just the keyboard? Or to go to the end or back to the beginning of a document? I can't find a way, and it's frustrating having to go to the scroll bar each time. I know there's iScroll and Side Track, but I'm hoping there's something that's native Apple. Thanks for any suggestions.
    Cheers, Peter

    Hi peter,
    well I don't know if there is a shortcut to go directly to the end, but to scroll down quite quickly I press fn+down/up.
    I don’t know if that can be useful but I sometimes use it.
    Cheers

  • Setxkbmap with keyboard shortcuts and xmodmap

    I'm using Arch with Awesome WM. I have configured awesome to work with setxkbmap: I have a widget and when I click on it or when I press Alt+Shift it changes the layout.
    kbdcfg = {}
    kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
    kbdcfg.layout = { { "us", "" }, { "bg", "phonetic" } }
    kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout
    kbdcfg.widget = wibox.widget.textbox()
    kbdcfg.widget:set_markup(" <b>" .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current][1] .. "</b> ")
    kbdcfg.switch = function ()
    kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
    local t = kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current]
    kbdcfg.widget:set_markup(" <b>" .. t[1] .. "</b> ")
    os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. " " .. t[1] .. " " .. t[2])
    end
    -- Mouse bindings
    kbdcfg.widget:buttons(
    awful.util.table.join(awful.button({ }, 1, function () kbdcfg.switch() end))
    However, when I'm in the `bg` layout and use some shortcut (e.g. Ctrl-C) it doesn't work and it's very annoying to constantly switch between the layouts for such a trivial task.
    Also, I have disabled CapsLock (via xmodmap) and map it to another modifier key and now I have mapped CapsLock+[hjkl] to right/down/up/left and I have some other mappings. But when I switch to my other layout, these mappings are disabled, and when I reenable them (using xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap), they, of course, don't work: when I press the key `j` it prints `j` instead of `й` (how it should be). Here is my .Xmodmap:
    keycode 66 = Mode_switch NoSymbol
    keycode 39 = s S dollar dollar
    keycode 43 = h H Left Left
    keycode 44 = j J Down Down
    keycode 45 = k K Up Up
    keycode 46 = l L Right Right
    keycode 54 = c C Caps_Lock Caps_Lock
    Is there a way to solve these problems, and if so - how? Thank you!
