Not sure, but it's possible there's another shortcut for word somewhere else, with a different name, and they keyboard shortcut assigned to it - as in, possibly in root of C: drive or something.

To look for a shortcut with word in the name, you can go to windows explorer, with the windows key + E keystroke, highlight local drive C: - generally just one down arrow, hit Ctrl + F for search, tab to all files and folders, and hit space bar, and in all or part of file name field, type in:
*word*.lnk

Then hit alt + R to start searching, and tab over to file/result listing, and give it a bit of time to complete search. Then depending on how many results are returned, you can arrow up and down to look for shortcuts to word etc., and look at their properties - you should find the start menu and desktop shortcuts there, among others.

Also just possible the shortcut key is being handled in some other way as well, but anyway...

Stay well

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] reassigning a hotkey stroke


I don't have a short cut on the desktop. Here is what I did: control escape for the start minue, p for programs, m for microsoft office sub-minue, arrowed up twice to outlook 2003, applications key arrowed up to propertys and hit inter, tab once to shortcut key where it said none. I than tried control shift o. It keeps opening word because that was my word key stroke but I have successfuly changed that to control shift w. So you could say my word has to short cut key strokes. Am I missing something or did I not do something correctly? Thanks Heather
