Well, that's reassuring, at least, John! if I do it, I'll make them the same on both computers.
BUT... I know how to reassign WORD shortcuts, but where do I have to go to do it under W/f?
BTW, when I was looking into this earlier, I tried to see if Word had assigned my shortcut to something else, so I typed it in the 'new key combination' box, but all it came up with was the proper W/f shortcut.
So I just don't understand how or where it happens that when I type one key combination, W/f interprets it as a different one?
At first I thought (and I still wonder?) if it was just the Ctrl key on my keyboard playing up; certainly pressing Ctrl firmly and holding it down while pressing the other keys DID make it work OK on at least ONE occasion; BUT it didn't work for ALL the corrupted shortcuts. What on earth can be going wrong here?
The only thing I did do was to try changing my USB keyboard, but have no gone back to the original one, to no avail.
Also, I now have confirmation that SOMEthing, one of the key combinations I type without noticing is DEFINITELY consistently turning off Num Lock.
I did also just have an odd problem (which I've occasionally encountered before on other hardware) where the mouse moved the cursor around the screen OK, but clicking did nothing, i.e. I couldn't place the cursor somewhere, for example. Luckily, rebooting seems to have cured that one at least ;-)
