How to disable F1 key in MS Word 2007??? - Please help!


Posted: Apr 07, 2011

Does anyone have an idiot-proof (read: computer illiterate) way to disable the F1 key in Microsoft Word 2007?  I use F2 to jump to different spots in the report and always end up hitting F1 instead, which brings up the Microsoft help box.  So annoying!!  Any help with this one is greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

If you are using the Shorthand expander - you can remap any key

[ In Reply To ..]
Just set up a Shorthand expansion in which hitting the F1 key triggers something completely innocuous, such as a right arrow keystroke immediately followed by a left arrow keystroke.

I had to do this to remap CTRL-END because I was constantly hitting that instead of CTRL-DEL and throwing myself all the way to the end of the report when I didn't want to.

Hello,  My company is using Word 2007 and we just decided to change the way we format our office visits. Instead of listing the medications in a paragraph form with commas after each medication we are listing them in a column and numbering them. Our problem is that when we get the dictations in our speech format they are in a paragraph. Is there a way of converting the paragraph to a column so they can be numbered or do we have to just do them individually? Thanks,  Glenn ...

Autocomplete Add In For Word 2007??
Mar 22, 2010

I recently upgraded to Office 2007.  I previously utilized both Autocomplete and Autotext.  Using Autocomplete in conjunction with Autotext allowed me to not have to memorize as many hot keys.  Well, as many of you probably know, Word 2007 no longer has the Autotext function.  It has been replaced with Building Blocks, which to my understanding, requires you to create hot keys for the entries.  My question is, does anyone know of an add on for Word that can be bought (o ...
