StillAnMT, works for me now. - OP

StillanMT, try making a "donotexpand" type shortcut first with {@KEY Ctrl+Space} and try it then.  I had already made one just recently.  And you could also check under Preferences, AutoReplace, and see if "Use Ctrl+Space to insert a space w/out expanding keyword" is checked or unchecked too? (could just try the opposite of whatever it is before making the shortcut)

This is a tricky shortcut to make, because you actually have to put something (Ctrl+Alt+Space) in the Shortcut box too.


Shorthand Manual, page 91:

The Ctrl+Space keystroke doesn’t seem to work.
The Ctrl+Space key is an MS Word command to revert text to the normal font. However, since Shorthand intercepts the Ctrl+Space key to insert a space without expanding a keyword, the Ctrl+Space key is not normally available to MS Word. To get around this problem, you can either disable Shorthand’s use of Ctrl+Space in the Preferences box or you can remap Ctrl+Space to another keystroke by creating a Shorthand dictionary entry with the following parameters:

Keyword: Use_Any_Name_You_Want
Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+Space
Text to Type: {@KEY Ctrl+Space}

Now whenever you press Ctrl+Alt+Space, Shorthand sends Ctrl+Space to MS Word
