Perhaps if you were to detail specifically what keyboard shortcuts you are looking for someone could offer advise. Please also include, as a minium: OOo version and if it is a standard OOo or a branch supplied OOo, OS (details please), and what you have attempted so far - for instance have you tried Tool|Customize|Keyboard? Your key combinations are non-standard for nearly all systems, example: ctrl-a is standard for 'copy all'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
